From my understanding it has something to do with system files for XP.
Haven't found the finitive answer yet, but that seems to be the general
consensus. <shrug>
On a side note, if you ever get a "this is not a windows disk" (or words
to that effect) when you try to install XP (If my memory serves me
correctly, this happens with W2K as well) the problem *is* the 8mb
partition being the first partition instead of being the last. (on a one
drive system)
