(Both are identical partitions)
As I understood your configuration and as you say (Both are identical partitions) I assume, you have installed Windows XP Professional SP1 to both C: and D:
As I said in my previous post, you are in situation which I discribed where I had FAT32 with Windows 2000 SP3. Converting sets the cluster size at 512b not 4096b. If you want to resize your cluster size to 4096b, there are two options afaik.

1. Install Partion Magic 8 and follow its guides.
2. Boot from the Windows XP CD, and full format the partition you need to resize the cluster size.

That should work for you...
Remember to backup your data before you do anything

Will resizing the clusters of a hard disk (using Partion Magic or an equivalent) lose the data of that harddisk?...
