How to quick format my drive

I recall from another forum post on your site that said if your hard-drive is too corupted to extract files from, you can either:

A) quick format it

Or

B) use another recovery program( to which I forgot the name of).

If someone can show me how to do any of the following, that would be much appreciated. Anyways, I'm trying to recover recycle bin files that are located in "\\.\Harddiskvolume3".
