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

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

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
