Using my old HDD for storage, and I need to format it.
Which should I use? NTFS or FAT32?

but if its a backup storage then fat32 is better because of backwards compatability, but if your not going to be using it in any older machines then NTFS is better, for sure

If you don't need to access it when booting into DOS, then use NTFS.
