Not sure, but I remeber trying to install nt4 to a prepartitioned (under
linux) disk and specifying it to be installed to a certain unformated
partition or unpartitioned space, it would install the majority of it's
file to the pointed partition.  However, the _boot_ files (e.g ntldr,
boot.ini?,...) was unconditionally put on the fat partition it could
find.  Not telling, but hey, it's MS ;-)

I'm pretty sure the installations procedure first formats the partition
fat, and shortly later (after a MS reboot ofcourse) it says "converting
to NTFS..."

Probably the same or similar goes with w2k, even thoug it got a fancier
look...
