TheOdds Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 NTFS definitely. Actually NTFS is pretty much the only choice for 250 GB partition. AFAIK You can't format such a huge partitions with any other windows file system. Not with windows tools anyway. Edit: + There is the famous 4 GB file size limit on FAT32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
