O.P. Formating a 2nd(slave) hard drive.
I just installed a second hard drive, I want to format it so I can use it for storage for like music, movies and stuff rather then keeping them on my main hard drive. I know how to format it my question is.. What settings do I use?

When trying to format the main hard drive the settings are

File System : NTFS
Allocation Unit Size : 4096

but when doing the hard drive I just installed it's

File System : Fat 32
Allocation Unit Size : Default Allocation Size


I can change the File System from Fat 32 to NTFS (not sure if it matters wether it's NTFS or Fat 32) but for the Allocation Unit Size, it only has Default Allocation Size. Also when formating do I click Quick Format or no?... I guess what im asking is Fat 32/Default Allocation Size ... ok? or what should it be when I format it.
