After choosing the partition where I will install Windows XP, 4 file systems appear for the partition I chose. They are these:
1) Format the partition using the NTFS file system (QUICK)
2) Format the partition using the FAT file system (QUICK)
3) Format the partition using the NTFS file system
4) Format the partition using the FAT file system
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “1” AND “3”?
I heard that “1” formats faster, is it true?

WHICH ONE IS BETTER, "1" OR "3"?

3 is the better and more complete choice.
It's not that much slower than the quick format. Formatting is not a real long drawn out process unless you have a really monster hard drive. Like a terra byte or something.

I think that the only difference is that one is faster than the other...
