Martin,
I can't seem to remember the message you are referring to showing up on XPe at all.
But anyway, if the 'x' you mentioned started for you from 120 why this is surprising you?
Please also make sure you set proper boot partition size in TD: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/aa731204.aspx
Btw, you want to move to the latest (RTM) of the FP2007. Don't stick with the CTP2 build (if this is what you meant by Build 2).
There were some important updates and fixes in RTM for the feature pack.
