I have no idea what they preformat the drive to. It really does not matter because when you install XP you have the option THEN to choose what format you like.

I was wondering.... lets say I custimize and buy a computer from www.ibuypower.com. Where it says OS, I select none (pre-formatted HD only), I can install the OS myself. Now here is the question...

What file system do they format the HD to? FAT32 or NTFS? And... do they send CD's/floppies with drivers? It would suck to get a formatted HD, install Windows, then figure out you don't have drivers for your hardware.

if u select no os, they just stick the hdd in the way they got it after they opened the package. besides, if u install xp or 2000, the setup will tell u to format ur hdd to ntfs.

OK cool. And do they send CD&#39;s/floppies with drivers? It would suck to get a formatted HD, install Windows, then figure out you don&#39;t have drivers for your hardware.
