Best Answer

If you are installing windows XP with Windows 9x or me than the I would recommend you to use FAT32 as if you use NTFS than you wont be able to access Windows XP with NTFS partition. If you are installing Windows XP with Windows NT or Windows 2000 than you can use any partition type. But I would recommend to use NTFS.

What is the system.ini file?

In Windows 3.1 and older the system.ini file, as well as the Win.ini file, was the main location for system configuration information. In Windows 95, 98, and ME, most of this was moved to the registry, but it was still used for some system settings. On the NT platform, including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, this file is virtually obsolete. It is maintained only for compatibility with old 16 bit applications (Windows 3.1) that can not access the registry. Larry Miller, Microsoft MCSA
