Reiniciar un dispositivo USB usando Linux

Usando Discos de GNOME

Podrías sobreescribir cualquier disco de tu ordenador.

Si no estás seguro del dispositivo a elegir, mejor para.

  1. Install GNOME Disks.

    • If you are using the GNOME desktop environment, GNOME Disks should be installed by default.

    • Otherwise, install the gnome-disk-utility package using the usual installation method for your distribution.

      You can also install Tails using the dd command from any Linux distribution as described in our instructions for installing from Debian using the command line.

  2. Asegúrate de que el dispositivo USB que quieres resetear está desconectado.

  3. Open GNOME Disks (also called Disks).

    For example, you can press the Super () key, then type disks and choose Disks.

    The storage devices in the computer are listed in the left pane.

  4. Conecta la memoria USB que quieres reiniciar.

    A new device appears in the list of storage devices. Select it.

  5. En el panel de la derecha verifica que el dispositivo corresponde a la memoria USB que quieres resetear: su marca, tamaño, etc.

  6. To reset the USB stick, select the Menu button in the title bar and choose Format Disk to erase all the existing partitions on the device.

  7. In the Format Disk dialog:

    • If you want to overwrite all data on the device, choose Overwrite existing data with zeroes in the Erase menu.

      Overwriting existing data does not erase all data on flash memories, such as USB sticks and SSDs (Solid-State Drives).

      See the limitations of file deletion.

    • Choose Compatible with all systems and devices (MBR/DOS) in the Partitioning menu.

  8. Click Format.

  9. In the confirmation dialog, click Format to confirm.

  10. To make sure that all the changes are written to the USB stick, select the Power Off this Disk button in the title bar.

Resetear una memoria USB Tails desde sí misma

Si Tails es tu único sistema operativo, puedes resetear la memoria USB directamente desde la misma memoria USB mientras corres Tails.

  1. When starting Tails, add the toram boot option in the Boot Loader.

    See using the Boot Loader.

  2. If Tails starts as usual, follow the instructions to reset a USB stick using GNOME Disks for Linux.

    Si el sistema no arranca eso significa que el ordenador no tiene suficiente memoria para este modo de operación. Intenta con otro ordenador, o encuentra otro sistema Linux para hacer el reset, por ejemplo otra memoria USB con Tails.
