Since it's a new disc, take Keith's advice and just re-partition it. You should also 
be able to use your xp disc to create FAT32 partitions.

If you do want to look into the MS-DOS Compatibility Mode, you can start here:

NOTE: If I remember correctly, the first sector used by logical drive E: may be causing 
this. Shrink or enlarge D: by a gig if you still have the problem after FDISK.
