hi,
admittedly, i'm a only an intermediate with computers.... and i'm attempting to make my own external hard drive.
i just bought a 250 gb hard drive for backup. it's a hitachi sata hdd and i have a nexstar 3 sata enclosure. with such a big hard drive, do i need to set limits on the hdd when i format it? or can i just use windows xp to format the drive for me and leave it at that?
i have a feeling that if windows does it without any direction i might lose major storage space. please correct me if i'm wrong. thanks!
