The problem is probably related to drivers or something. Did you try reinstalling them?

You might want to register and start a seperate thread on this problem though and hopefully we can help.

FAT32 will work fine in 2k/xp, it's just that NTFS is better, but if you have a reason to use FAT32 such as using linux, it will work just as fine.
