    Hi @TONI ,

    As far as I know there is no event logged when a drive is formatted, the builtin tools for disk management in Windows are very basic, if you require logs for such you might need to check for third party software.

    If you using format,exe

    https://learn.microsoft.com/it-it/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/format

    When formatting is complete, format displays messages that show the total disk space, the spaces marked as defective, and the space available for your files.

    or If you want to check bad sector there is an apposite command 

     chkdsk YourDisk: /r
