XP = NTFS. It supports large files.

XP also supports FAT32. But it does have a file size limit.

Also, when you format a drive in XP with FAT32, it will only let you format a limited amount of the drive. There's no technical reason for this. M$ just decided to force you to NTFS if you want to format a large drive.

Formatting the drive in Linux to FAT32 will work for most modern drives.
