Today I created a partition with WinXP of size 1027 MB
(my input in dialog was 1024). I choosed FAT as file system.

ReactOS Setup ignored this partition type $06 and formatted
FAT32 instead - which leads to the error message 

Disk Error
Press a Key


I formerly created FAT16 partitions with < 512 MB with WinXP
and ReactOS formatted them correctly with a FAT16 file system.
So USetup does ignore the preformatted MBR partition type byte completly
and only chooses the FAT type by reading size of partition (?)
