Yes, they do. Windows ME even supports Fat 32!
Windows NT4 supports: FAT, NTFS (version 4) Windows 2000 supports: FAT, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS (versions 4 and 5)
Windows 2000 supports FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS partitions.

If you are installing windows XP with Windows 9x or me than the I would recommend you to use FAT32 as if you use NTFS than you wont be able to access Windows XP with NTFS partition. If you are installing Windows XP with Windows NT or Windows 2000 than you can use any partition type. But I would recommend to use NTFS.

FAT32 is limited to 4 GB files. Files on NTFS can be up to 2 terabytes in size. Another advantage WIndows 2000 would have with NTFS is the support of file permissions. File permissions can stop different accounts from modifying files and folders that don't belong to them. FAT32 does not support file permissions, leaving users free to view,modify, or delete each other's files.
Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP all support USB
There is extremely limited support for Windows 2000 on HP's website for the HP Pavilion dv6700. Drivers for Windows XP are available.
Windows 2000 will automatically use the FAT32 file system
Windows 2000 supports three primary file systems: FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32), NTFS (New Technology File System), and CDFS (Compact Disc File System). FAT32 is commonly used for compatibility with older systems and devices, while NTFS offers advanced features like security permissions, compression, and large volume support. CDFS is used for reading data from CD-ROMs. NTFS is the preferred file system for Windows 2000 due to its robustness and features.
Yes, if you have RAID drivers that will work under Windows 2000.
