[Raphael_123]

Hello guys, so my motherboard is not coming until next week so i will not be able for build my PC until friday.

 

Mean while now that i have an SSD i would like to do a Loading time comparison in my PS3.

 

My PS3 will format my SSD. but after im done doing my research. what format does my PC is going to need ? will it format to the right format when i installing it in my PC ?

If not reformatting an unrecognizable drive isn't a problem. But it will probably be fine.

For the PS3 it will need to be formatted to fat32, after that you will format it to NTSF for the PC. Once you load up the windows boot cd, it will run through some stuff but it should come to a screen where it shows your drive. Here you should see an option to "format" or "drive options". Somewhere in there you will be able to format it to NTFS and select allocation size of 4096B (4K).

When installing Windows you'll see a screen like this;

 

 

With this you should highlight the drive, delete it, then format it. After that it should be formatted into NTFS and be able to install Windows.
