Note: change the
"4) Now decide on a filesystem. Use "ext3" if the drive will only be
used with Ubuntu. For file-sharing between Ubuntu and Windows, you
should use "fat32." If you are unsure, search around the wiki and forums
for advice."
fat32 bit in the page to ntfs if you plan on sharing with Windows. fat32
won't support your video files that are larger than 4Gb. If linux only,
then just use ext3 & you'll be fine.

The sections that you probably need most are:

Create a Mount Point
Automatic Mount at Boot
