XP DOS uppercases diskette file names

• 
  Files transferred between my Win98 and XP machine via diskette via DOS are forced upper case by XP.  A dir shows them lower case on XP but upper case on 98.  I've reformatted the diskette with XP to avoid a possible FAT problem and the problem persists with both COMMAND.COM and CMD.EXE.  Any help would be appreciated.
