Default A \"good\" question on drive formatting

I've decided to try to reformat my audio drive, so I've transferred all of my audio files to CDR, and am ready to go. My question is this: are there any specifics that I should pay attention to, such as the "allocation unit size," should I make a partition on this drive to ghost to, should I use the XP format process, or should I get a seperate piece of software, etc. I'm going NTFS as before, but that's all I know so far....

It's really not a big deal, use XP's format, I use NTFS with whatever defaults it offers. No problem.
