2000 and XP, both have the ability to create and read FAT32 and NTFS partitions.
FAT32 partitions are limited to 32GB in 2000 and XP.
during install create your 100GB NTFS, then use Disk Management in XP to create your 20GB FAT32 partition.

fat32 can be over 32gig and up to the newest hard drives in winxp. just format the whole drive fat32 before winxp installation then when asked to partition and format during install there will be another option saying leave partiton alone(no changes) and install on that one. 120gig fat32 partition in winxp is no problem(per customers request)
