Hmmm... Every version of WinXP install disks that I have seen (beta, gold, SP1) does NOT have the 'Format Fat32' option.
Maybe they are trialling the NTFS option in Australia like they did with the Authenticate Office 2000 previously.
It might also have to do with the fact that I always delete existing partitions and re-create them when I install WinXP. The Format Fat32 may only come up when you are installing to an existing Fat32 partition?

Regardless, NTFS is the way to go.
