And further, I don't think XP really likes fat32. It will support it ie read/write to it but fat32 is not it's native partition type. I would stick to ntfs and create a fat32 partition to use between linux and XP which is probably why you're going through these gyrations. What I'm saying is shrink the XP ntfs partition and create a fat32 partition, keeping the XP ntfs partition.
