Prerequisites:
You need three major requirements to run GRASS 5 on Windows:
Windows NT 4.0 (SP3 or higher), Windows 2000 Professional with NTFS or Windows XP
(Windows 9x and Windows ME are unsupported),
Cygwin installation (Cygnus tools for Windows),
Only Xserver/winGRASS version: X Window Server.
Perhaps if you don't look at the "binary" download section you will
miss this information.

See here:

It specifically says 'FAT will not work!'
I have now added this message also to the page
