"NTFS is necessary for XP Professional" 

No, it is not I have XP Professional and I use/recommend FAT32.

"There is no reason for your system drive to be over 20 GB, and thus no reason to 
use NTFS on it."

Unless you bought XP Professional for the security which it affords the user.

Windows XP will not format drives, or partitions, over 32Gb to anything other than 
the NTFS file system.
