Is there any way to prevent Spotlight from indexing BootCamp's Windows XP partition?

I made a 5GB FAT32 partition for Windows, and Spotlight wants to search it now when I look for something.

The Spotlight preference pane won't accept the Windows volume as a privacy volume. There is no way to add the volume to the privacy list (won't stick). Others on Apple's discussion board have noted the same issue.

Any suggestions?

At last, it is not only me... No solution found yet.

I would like to know how to disable spotlight from indexing a FAT32 partition also.

I think the solution would be to write a script that unmounts the windows partition at login. I do not know how to do this, though.
