Windows XP natively supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS. Other file systems, such as HPFS, JFS, ext2/3, and ReiserFS can be supported through an IFS (Installable File System).

Windows XP and Windows 7 both use the same file system by default: NTFS.
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.
The file systems supported by Windows XP and Windows Vista are essentially the same. However, Windows Vista does not support booting from FAT32 partitions, and Windows XP does not support Windows Vista's Shadow Copy feature (which makes automatic backups of files) and will delete the backups if it accesses an NTFS Windows Vista partition.
EFS stands for Encrypted File System and is used to encrypt folders and files in Windows XP or Vista.This encryption works ONLY when using the Windows NTFS file system!
No. They already use the same file system.
