Formatting the New Partition
In practice, all you really need
to know about NTFS is that when you’re prompted to format the system,
you select the NTFS option. To select NTFS, press “ENTER,”
and let the computer partition the hard drive. A status bar shows us
the formatting progress (Figure 139).
Figure 139: Formatting The status bar will tell you of the progress. For a large hard drive, feel free to take a break and check back on the progress later.

The format program will
also ask if you want to do a quick format or a full format. Select full
format. That is usually the best option and also the default option
Windows offers.
