Well personally, I find that putting devices in after installing XP works quite nicely, it installs quicker for starters.

Secondly, I have found that sometimes that WinXp device detection can crash, if certain obscure devicess are present, whereas it works fine if I put it in after the main install.

For me, with my Pulsar I board recently, I have found that a reinstall of win9x operating systems seems to reset all my codes, requiring new ones from creamware.

(Creamwares FAQ say its to do with a fault with the Pulsar I board, reinsalling windows is for me when it seems to occur)

I think IMHO FAT is better for Audio performance than NTFS.
