No. This will not work. The jukebox can only boot from FAT32. (and even
if it could boot from NTFS, Rockbox only understands FAT32)

I'm afraid I can't help you much, except to say that it is indeed a
limitation of Windows XP that it won't format drives larger than 32GB as
FAT32 (completely arbitrarily I might add, presumably in a misguided
attempt to push ntfs unto the users). So you need to find a program that
will format your Jukebox as FAT32. I'm mostly a Linux person, so I'm
afraid I can't help you there.
