No tienes ni idea de a qui\u00e9n pertenecen esas propiedades, cu\u00e1nto poseen o qu\u00e9 hacen con ellas. Pero puedes ver claramente d\u00f3nde termina un campo y empieza otro. Puedes distinguir jardines, casitas, columpios y huertos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Los seres humanos somos organizadores y clasificadores por naturaleza. Ya sea al delimitar propiedades o al dise\u00f1ar y ordenar nuestros propios jardines, esta partici\u00f3n forma parte de la vida. Tambi\u00e9n es una excelente met\u00e1fora para cuando particionamos discos duros externos. En esta entrada, veremos c\u00f3mo crear y gestionar particiones.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 significa particionar un disco duro externo?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Particionar es simplemente otra forma de decir dividir. Al particionar un disco duro externo, lo est\u00e1s separando en partes segmentadas espec\u00edficas. La mayor\u00eda de los discos duros, incluidos los externos, vienen con una \u00fanica partici\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Imagina una sola partici\u00f3n como un gran cubo donde se almacenan todos los archivos del disco. La mayor\u00eda de las instalaciones de Windows y Mac OS incluyen el sistema operativo, los programas y los datos personales en una \u00fanica partici\u00f3n. Pero hay una forma de dividir ese gran cubo en varios m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Por ejemplo, algunos dispositivos vienen con una segunda partici\u00f3n m\u00e1s peque\u00f1a. Esta se utiliza para la recuperaci\u00f3n en caso de que falle parte del disco duro o del dispositivo. Pero hay muchas otras razones por las que podr\u00edas querer particionar tu disco duro externo.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 particionar discos duros externos? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Particionar un disco duro externo no solo mejora el rendimiento, tambi\u00e9n facilita la recuperaci\u00f3n si el disco sufre da\u00f1os. Y hay m\u00e1s razones:<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy backups<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuando guardas tus datos personales, como m\u00fasica, fotos y documentos, en una partici\u00f3n separada, hacer copias de seguridad es muy f\u00e1cil. En lugar de copiar todos los archivos del sistema y programas, solo necesitas conservar lo que realmente importa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tus datos suelen estar m\u00e1s protegidos cuando se encuentran en una partici\u00f3n separada. Esto puede ser muy \u00fatil en caso de un fallo del disco duro o del sistema. Incluso si necesitas reinstalar el sistema operativo, tus datos personales seguir\u00e1n ah\u00ed al finalizar la instalaci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better security<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Si particionas tu disco duro externo, una consecuencia inesperada (\u00a1y afortunada!) es que tus datos podr\u00edan estar m\u00e1s protegidos contra ataques de malware. No te recomendamos cancelar tu antivirus, ya que la partici\u00f3n no es un m\u00e9todo infalible. Pero los datos particionados tienen m\u00e1s probabilidades de sobrevivir a un ataque.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00f3mo particionar discos duros externos <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reparticionar tus discos para mejorar el rendimiento y la organizaci\u00f3n puede parecer una tarea dif\u00edcil. Quiz\u00e1 te has preguntado: \u201c\u00bfPuedo particionar mi disco duro externo sin tener que llamar a un experto?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Por suerte, crear particiones en un disco duro externo no es tan complicado como parece. La herramienta propia de Microsoft, llamada Administraci\u00f3n de discos, te permite particionar f\u00e1cilmente sin necesidad de software de terceros.<\/p>\n<p>Aqu\u00ed te explicamos c\u00f3mo particionar los sectores de un disco duro externo, incluyendo c\u00f3mo eliminar particiones (solo en Windows 7)<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backing up!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Realiza una copia de seguridad <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">siempre que<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> realices cualquier acci\u00f3n en tu disco duro. Aunque las particiones no suelen causar p\u00e9rdida de datos, hacer una copia te protege de perder informaci\u00f3n importante si el proceso de particionado falla.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connecting<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conecta tu disco duro externo al ordenador con el cable USB que ven\u00eda con el dispositivo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning out old data<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A continuaci\u00f3n explicamos c\u00f3mo eliminar una partici\u00f3n en un disco duro externo (solo Windows 7).
