No, simply rebooting your computer (turning it off, then on again) does not erase all the data on the computer. However, you can lose unsaved data on files that you are currently working on if you don't save. Reformatting (reinstalling your operating system) will erase all the data on your computer and set it back to its default settings.

Explain why you would format a floppy disk?

Theoretically - it erases all the data on the disc - However... On a floppy disk, there is a 'reference track' which holds details of each file on the disc (name, start point, size and end point) When you format a disc - the computer ONLY erases the details on this track. Without the reference track information, there is no way for the computer to locate a file.
