Default using an old OS on XP

Okay that opens lots of different forks in the road. Which way do you want
to go? What do you exactly want to go for example?


Well I have noticed this for starters. Formating a new filesystem with
fat32 will work with XP but the system hangs and stops installing. With ntfs
it continues. Winows seems to be the only OS that can't handle a large fat32
filsystem and I think fat32 goes up to 1 TB. Is there a way around that?


Whoa! How large is this FAT32 partition for starters? I never had a
problem with XP installing in a more than a 32GB FAT32 already made
partition before, but I never tried up to an 1TB partition before.
