\"Vad h\u00e4nder om jag formaterar min h\u00e5rddisk?\" Det \u00e4r f\u00f6rmodligen en av de vanligaste fr\u00e5gorna fr\u00e5n nya datoranv\u00e4ndare.<\/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

N\u00e4r en disk formateras, raderas allt tidigare inneh\u00e5ll. Alla data tas bort och utrymme frig\u00f6rs f\u00f6r nya data och filsystem. Det finns flera sk\u00e4l att formatera en disk. Du kanske \u00e4r orolig f\u00f6r s\u00e4kerheten, beh\u00f6ver \u00e5teranv\u00e4nda h\u00e5rdvaran eller vill installera ett nytt filsystem p\u00e5 enheten. Eller s\u00e5 f\u00f6rs\u00f6ker du l\u00f6sa allvarliga fel p\u00e5 enheten.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oavsett anledning \u00e4r slutresultatet att, om det g\u00f6rs korrekt, <\/span>formatering av en h\u00e5rddisk <\/b>f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttrar enhetens prestanda. Men innan vi g\u00e5r in p\u00e5 vad formatering faktiskt g\u00f6r, m\u00e5ste du f\u00f6rst\u00e5 <\/span>hur man formaterar en h\u00e5rddisk <\/b>fr\u00e5n b\u00f6rjan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hur man formaterar en h\u00e5rddisk<\/h2>\n

Nu n\u00e4r du vet vad \u201dformatera\u201d betyder g\u00e5r vi vidare till sj\u00e4lva processen. Innan du formaterar en h\u00e5rddisk, s\u00e4kerhetskopiera dina data. Formatera aldrig en enhet om du inte ocks\u00e5 har sparat informationen n\u00e5gon annanstans! Formatering kan radera all data p\u00e5 disken. (Vill du veta mer om dataradering? L\u00e4s \u00c4r dina data verkligen borta?)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Att formatera en h\u00e5rddisk <\/b>\u00e4r faktiskt ganska enkelt. F\u00f6rst g\u00e5r vi igenom hur man g\u00f6r en snabbformatering som inte raderar dina data. B\u00e5de i Windows och p\u00e5 Mac finns det fem steg f\u00f6r att <\/span>formatera en disk<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snabbformatering i Windows<\/span><\/h3>\n

S\u00e5 h\u00e4r formaterar du en h\u00e5rddisk som inte anv\u00e4nds f\u00f6r uppstart i 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

    N\u00e4r processen \u00e4r klar har du en ren h\u00e5rddisk att anv\u00e4nda. Nu g\u00e5r vi vidare till samma process f\u00f6r Mac!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Snabbformatering p\u00e5 Mac<\/span><\/h3>\n

    S\u00e5 h\u00e4r formaterar du en h\u00e5rddisk som inte anv\u00e4nds f\u00f6r uppstart p\u00e5 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

      Snabbformatering fungerar bra f\u00f6r att rensa din h\u00e5rddisk, men tar inte bort all data helt. Men vad h\u00e4nder om du vill radera disken fullst\u00e4ndigt och s\u00e4kert? Om s\u00e4kerhet \u00e4r viktigt, till exempel om du ska s\u00e4lja eller sk\u00e4nka bort disken, beh\u00f6ver du en fullst\u00e4ndig formatering.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Fullst\u00e4ndig formatering \u00e4r lika enkel som snabbformatering, men kom ih\u00e5g! En fullst\u00e4ndig formatering raderar all data fr\u00e5n din h\u00e5rddisk, s\u00e5 kontrollera noga att det verkligen \u00e4r vad du vill g\u00f6ra <\/span>innan <\/span><\/i>du forts\u00e4tter!<\/span><\/p>\n

      Fullst\u00e4ndig formatering i Windows<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Om ditt operativsystem \u00e4r Windows, f\u00f6lj processen som beskrevs tidigare men hoppa \u00f6ver steg\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

        Om du anv\u00e4nder en Mac \u00e4r de tre f\u00f6rsta stegen desamma, oavsett om du g\u00f6r en snabb- eller fullst\u00e4ndig formatering:<\/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

          Vad g\u00f6r en formatering av en h\u00e5rddisk?<\/span><\/h2>\n

          S\u00e5, <\/span>vad h\u00e4nder n\u00e4r du formaterar en enhet<\/b>? Oavsett varf\u00f6r du formaterar din h\u00e5rddisk blir resultatet alltid detsamma. Det h\u00e4r kan du f\u00f6rv\u00e4nta dig.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Resultat nr 1: Rensar och f\u00f6rnyar filsystemet<\/span><\/h3>\n

          N\u00e4r du formaterar en h\u00e5rddisk v\u00e4ljer du vilken typ av filsystem du vill att den nyformaterade enheten ska anv\u00e4nda (som NTFS eller exFAT). Vid formatering raderas i praktiken informationen p\u00e5 h\u00e5rddisken och hela strukturen f\u00f6r hur ny data sparas \u00e4ndras.<\/p>\n

          Resultat nr 2: F\u00f6rb\u00e4ttrar enhetens prestanda<\/span><\/h3>\n

          En av de st\u00f6rsta f\u00f6rdelarna med att formatera h\u00e5rddiskar och datorer \u00e4r f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttrad enhetsprestanda. Formatering fungerar som en \u00e5terst\u00e4llning som tar systemet tillbaka till hur det var n\u00e4r du f\u00f6rst k\u00f6pte datorn. Men vad \u00e4r det som g\u00f6r formatering av en h\u00e5rddisk s\u00e5 f\u00f6rdelaktigt?<\/p>\n

          N\u00e4r du formaterar frig\u00f6rs diskutrymme \u00e5t dig. N\u00e4r en betydande m\u00e4ngd lagringsutrymme \u00e4r tillg\u00e4nglig f\u00e5r enheten tillg\u00e5ng till mer minne och hanterar kommandon mycket effektivare. Enkelt uttryckt: ju mer ledigt lagringsutrymme du har, desto snabbare g\u00e5r din dator! S\u00e5 om din dator \u00e4r l\u00e5ngsam eller uppf\u00f6r sig m\u00e4rkligt, kan en formatering hj\u00e4lpa.<\/p>\n

          Att formatera en h\u00e5rddisk rensar \u00e4ven utrymme genom att ta bort on\u00f6digt eller skadligt inneh\u00e5ll. Det kan handla om skadlig kod och andra virus som ditt antivirusprogram inte har uppt\u00e4ckt. Dessa program g\u00f6r sitt b\u00e4sta f\u00f6r att ta bort hot, men de \u00e4r inte perfekta och kan ibland missa vissa faror.<\/p>\n

          Filer som installerats f\u00f6r att k\u00f6ra operativsystemet (OS) kan skadas med tiden, vilket g\u00f6r att enheten blir l\u00e5ngsammare. N\u00e4r en h\u00e5rddisk formateras installeras operativsystemet om. Fel och systemproblem tas bort och operativsystemet \u00e5terst\u00e4lls till optimal prestanda.<\/p>\n

          Resultat nr 3: Raderar data<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Raderar formatering av en disk informationen? Ja! Faktum \u00e4r att de flesta formaterar en h\u00e5rddisk just f\u00f6r att ta bort inneh\u00e5llet. Om du inte beh\u00f6ver informationen som finns sparad d\u00e4r \u00e4r formatering ett snabbt s\u00e4tt att rensa disken p\u00e5 bara n\u00e5gra steg.<\/p>\n

          Som alltid b\u00f6r du automatiskt s\u00e4kerhetskopiera dina personliga data regelbundet f\u00f6r att undvika ov\u00e4ntad dataf\u00f6rlust. Men om du pl\u00f6tsligt beh\u00f6ver formatera en disk f\u00f6r att \u00e4ndra filsystemet, rensa inneh\u00e5llet eller f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttra prestandan, vill du inte f\u00f6rlora dina senaste filer. Ta d\u00e4rf\u00f6r n\u00e5gra minuter och s\u00e4kerhetskopiera h\u00e5rddisken manuellt till ett externt media innan du formaterar.<\/p>\n

          Nu n\u00e4r du vet vad det inneb\u00e4r att formatera en datorh\u00e5rddisk, finns det ingen anledning att inte g\u00f6ra det f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttra prestandan. Men det kan vara riskabelt om du inte \u00e4r f\u00f6rberedd!<\/p>\n

          Som alltid b\u00f6r du automatiskt s\u00e4kerhetskopiera dina data regelbundet f\u00f6r att undvika oplanerad dataf\u00f6rlust<\/a>. Men om du pl\u00f6tsligt m\u00e5ste formatera en disk f\u00f6r att byta filsystem, rensa den eller f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttra prestandan vill du inte f\u00f6rlora dina senaste filer. Ta d\u00e4rf\u00f6r n\u00e5gra minuter f\u00f6r att g\u00f6ra en manuell s\u00e4kerhetskopia innan du formaterar.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Om du av misstag har formaterat din disk utan en aktuell s\u00e4kerhetskopia \u00e4r hoppet inte ute. En kvalificerad data\u00e5terst\u00e4llningsexpert kan kanske hitta och \u00e5terst\u00e4lla dina filer \u2013 \u00e4ven fr\u00e5n en formaterad h\u00e5rddisk. <\/span>Kontakta DriveSavers redan idag f\u00f6r att ta reda p\u00e5 om dina data kan \u00e5terst\u00e4llas<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
