\u201cCosa succede se formatto il mio disco rigido?\u201d \u00c8 probabilmente una delle domande pi\u00f9 comuni tra i nuovi utenti di computer.<\/p>\n

Did you know every hard drive begins life being formatted at the factory where it was built? This may surprise you since formatting seems like something you only do when you have a major problem with your drive. But formatting a hard drive can be useful in many different situations. So <\/span>what is formatting<\/b>, really? And what does formatting a hard drive do?
\r\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Quando si formatta un disco, tutto il passato viene cancellato. Tutti i dati vengono rimossi e si libera spazio per nuovi dati e nuovi file system. Ci sono diverse ragioni per formattare un disco. Potresti avere preoccupazioni legate alla sicurezza, voler riutilizzare l\u2019hardware o installare un nuovo file system sul tuo dispositivo. Oppure potresti cercare di risolvere gravi errori del dispositivo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Qualunque sia la ragione, il risultato finale \u00e8 che, se fatto correttamente, <\/span>la formattazione di un disco rigido <\/b>migliora le prestazioni del tuo dispositivo. Ma prima di spiegare cosa fa la formattazione di un disco, devi capire <\/span>come formattare un disco rigido <\/b>fin dall\u2019inizio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Come formattare un disco rigido<\/h2>\n

Ora che sai cosa significa \u201cformattare\u201d, passiamo al processo vero e proprio. Prima di iniziare qualsiasi formattazione del disco rigido, esegui il backup dei tuoi dati. Non formattare mai un disco se le informazioni non sono anche salvate su un altro supporto! La formattazione pu\u00f2 cancellare tutti i dati presenti sul disco. (Per saperne di pi\u00f9 sull\u2019eliminazione dei dati, leggi I tuoi dati sono davvero scomparsi?)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Formattare un disco rigido <\/b>\u00e8 in realt\u00e0 piuttosto semplice. Per cominciare, vedremo come eseguire una formattazione rapida che non elimina i dati. Sia su Windows che su Mac, ci sono cinque passaggi per <\/span>formattare un disco<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Formattazione rapida su Windows<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ecco come formattare un disco rigido non di avvio su Windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If your drive isn\u2019t already installed on your PC, connect the hard drive to the computer.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to the left side of the window. Right-click on your drive and select \u201cFormat.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Pick the file system and name it under \u201cVolume Label.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Perform a \u201cQuick Format.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Click \u201cStart.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Una volta completato il processo, avrai un disco rigido pulito pronto all\u2019uso. Ora passiamo alla stessa procedura su Mac!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Formattazione rapida su Mac<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Ecco come formattare un disco rigido non di avvio su Mac.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Navigate to the Disk Utility app.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Go to \u201cChoose View\u201d and select \u201cShow All Devices.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Click on the disk you want to erase.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Rename the disc, choose the format you want (APFS or Mac OS Extended), and select the \u201cGUID Partition Map\u201d scheme.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Click \u201cErase.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      La formattazione rapida \u00e8 utile per ripulire il disco rigido, ma non elimina del tutto i dati. Ma cosa fare se vuoi cancellare il disco completamente e in modo sicuro? Se la sicurezza \u00e8 una preoccupazione perch\u00e9 stai vendendo o donando l\u2019unit\u00e0, sar\u00e0 necessario eseguire una formattazione completa.<\/span><\/p>\n

      La formattazione completa \u00e8 semplice quanto quella rapida, ma attenzione! Una formattazione completa canceller\u00e0 tutti i dati dal disco rigido, quindi assicurati che sia davvero ci\u00f2 che vuoi fare <\/span>prima <\/span><\/i>di procedere!<\/span><\/p>\n

      Formattazione completa su Windows<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Se il tuo sistema operativo \u00e8 Windows, segui la procedura indicata in precedenza ma salta il passaggio\u00a04.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. If your drive isn\u2019t already installed on your PC, connect the hard drive to the computer.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to the left side of the window. Right-click on your drive and select \u201cFormat.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Pick the file system and name it under \u201cVolume Label.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Click \u201cStart.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Se utilizzi un Mac, i primi tre passaggi sono gli stessi, sia per una formattazione rapida che completa:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Navigate to the Disk Utility app.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Go to \u201cChoose View\u201d and select \u201cShow All Devices.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Click on the disk you want to erase.<\/span><\/li>\n
        4. Click \u201cEdit\u201d in the upper left corner of the window.<\/span><\/li>\n
        5. Click \u201cDelete APFS Volume\u201d from the menu bar.<\/span><\/li>\n
        6. You may see an \u201cErase Group Volume\u201d button appear. If so, click the button.<\/span><\/li>\n
        7. If prompted, click \u201cDelete.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Cosa fa la formattazione di un disco rigido?<\/span><\/h2>\n

          Quindi, <\/span>cosa succede quando si formatta un\u2019unit\u00e0<\/b>? Indipendentemente dal motivo per cui stai formattando il disco rigido, il risultato sar\u00e0 sempre lo stesso. Ecco cosa puoi aspettarti.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Risultato n. 1: Pulisce e rinnova il file system<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Quando formatti un disco rigido, scegli il tipo di file system che desideri utilizzare sul disco appena formattato (come NTFS o exFAT). Con la formattazione, le informazioni presenti sul disco vengono essenzialmente cancellate e l'intera struttura per il salvataggio dei nuovi dati viene modificata.<\/p>\n

          Risultato n. 2: Migliora le prestazioni del dispositivo<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Uno dei maggiori vantaggi della formattazione di dischi rigidi e computer \u00e8 il miglioramento delle prestazioni del dispositivo. La formattazione agisce come un ripristino che riporta il funzionamento allo stato iniziale, come quando hai acquistato il computer. Ma cosa fa la formattazione di un disco rigido per essere cos\u00ec vantaggiosa?<\/p>\n

          Quando formatti, lo spazio del disco viene liberato. Una volta che \u00e8 disponibile una quantit\u00e0 significativa di spazio di archiviazione, il dispositivo ha accesso a pi\u00f9 memoria e gestisce i comandi in modo molto pi\u00f9 efficiente. In parole povere, pi\u00f9 spazio disponibile hai, pi\u00f9 veloce sar\u00e0 il tuo computer! Quindi, se il tuo computer \u00e8 lento o presenta strani malfunzionamenti, formattare il disco potrebbe essere utile.<\/p>\n

          La formattazione di un disco rigido consente anche di fare ordine nello spazio su disco, rimuovendo contenuti inutili o dannosi. Questo include malware e altri virus che il tuo antivirus potrebbe non avoir rilevato. Questi programmi fanno del loro meglio per eliminare le minacce, ma non sono perfetti e a volte possono passare qualcosa.<\/p>\n

          I file installati per far funzionare il sistema operativo (OS) possono danneggiarsi col tempo, rallentando il dispositivo. Quando si formatta un disco rigido, il sistema operativo viene reinstallato. Gli errori o malfunzionamenti vengono rimossi e le prestazioni del sistema vengono ripristinate al massimo livello.<\/p>\n

          Risultato n. 3: Elimina i dati<\/span><\/h3>\n

          La formattazione di un disco cancella i dati? S\u00ec! In effetti, la maggior parte delle persone formatta un disco rigido proprio per eliminarne il contenuto. Se non hai bisogno delle informazioni salvate, la formattazione \u00e8 un modo rapido per fare pulizia in pochi passaggi.<\/p>\n

          Come sempre, dovresti eseguire regolarmente il backup automatico dei tuoi dati personali per evitare perdite accidentali. Ma se devi formattare improvvisamente un disco per cambiare file system, pulire il contenuto o migliorarne le prestazioni, non vuoi perdere i dati pi\u00f9 recenti. Quindi prenditi qualche minuto per eseguire manualmente un backup del disco rigido su un supporto esterno prima di formattare.<\/p>\n

          Ora che sai cosa significa formattare il disco rigido di un computer, non c\u2019\u00e8 motivo per non farlo e migliorare le prestazioni. Tuttavia, pu\u00f2 essere rischioso se non ci si prepara adeguatamente!<\/p>\n

          Come sempre, dovresti eseguire regolarmente un backup automatico dei tuoi dati per prevenire perdite improvvise<\/a>. Ma se improvvisamente hai bisogno di formattare un disco per cambiare file system, pulirlo o migliorarne le prestazioni, non vuoi perdere i tuoi dati pi\u00f9 recenti. Quindi, prenditi qualche minuto per eseguire un backup manuale prima di formattare.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Se ti ritrovi ad aver formattato accidentalmente il tuo disco senza un backup recente, non tutto \u00e8 perduto. Un tecnico qualificato per il recupero dati potrebbe riuscire a cercare e ripristinare le tue informazioni, anche da un disco formattato. <\/span>Contatta oggi stesso DriveSavers per scoprire se i tuoi dati possono essere recuperati con successo<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
