Because it could be used in a Windows PC/Linux/Unix/Mac etc. and they all like different file systems.

Then it rebooted like it said it was going to then it said it couldnt detect it. I didnt have my other hardrive hooked up only the new one.

You shouldn't be installing XP on 2 drives on the same machine unless you REALLY know what you're doing.
