That's not a limitation of XP, but a limitation of the FAT32 filesystem itself.
Reasen is simple: In FAT32 the filesize is stored as 4 bytes, aka: a single DWORD. This is 32 bits long (hence one of the reasons it is called FAT
32). The biggest number possible with this is 2^32-1, or 4294967295 (which is 4GB).
XP does have a limitation which other OSs might not have in regards to formatting a FAT32 drive. The maximum size which XP (and Win2000) can format as FAT32 is 32GB. Whereas the theoretical maximum size for FAT32 drives is 2TB.
