When I do a sfdisk  my XP partition looks like
Disk /dev/hda: 4864 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1          0+      3       4-     32098+  de  Dell Utility
/dev/hda2   *      4    4862    4859   39029917+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
/dev/hda4          0       -       0          0    0  Empty

So for whatever reason, they seem to put XP ( which shows as NTFS ) on 
the second partition.
