Default Disk Error

I'm trying to install XP on a FAT32 partition. It went through the first phase (the blue installation screen, no GUI yet), but it won't boot to the GUI setup phase. Here's what I did:

1. Backed stuff up to my OSX HDD
2. Formatted the drive
3. Made 2 partitions: 1 OSX, 1 80GB FAT32
4. Put the couple of backed up folders (just games) back onto the FAT32 partition
5. Run XP installation, everything seemed to go fine

Then I get "Disk Error" when the system reboots. I booted back into the XP installation disk and did fixboot and fixmbr, and I have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Nonono, there is no old system. This is a completely new install. The only old stuff is my Doom 3 and Steam and Nexuiz folders. That's all. I formatted a FAT32 80GB partition in another OS (since windows doesn't do FAT32 > 32GB), put those 3 folders on the partition, and then did "Leave the partition intact (no changes)" in the installer. The packages unloaded and everything, but it won't go into the GUI install finish-up thing after the reboot.
