I wonder if what you are seeing there is SP2 or the drive size.  I noticed
that on drives larger than about 50G or so, WinXP just goes ahead and
formats it to NTFS without asking.  I haven't done THAT many installs, but
on smaller drives, I'm pretty sure it asked.

I have only one machine to go on installing SP2, but it happens to be my
only machine with a FAT32 boot partition.
