Formatting a partition for Windows XP

[Tom Kuiper <tbhk@dsnra.jpl.nasa.gov>]

Greetings everyone.

I would like to be able to back up my daughter's Window XP PE laptop to
a secondary drive on my Linux (only) system.

Question 1:  Should I make an NTFS partition or something else?

Question 2:  How can I format a filesystem that is 30 GB in size?

Thanking you in advance

Tom
