It supports the New Technology File System (NTFS) which was used in Windows NT, 2000, XP, Server editions, Vista and Windows 7. It has changed from the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system which was used in earlier versions (and is still used in many removable devices). The reason for this is that NTFS uses access control lists (ACL) to track files and prevent less fragmentation, extra security protocols and a technology so that hard drive space can be utilized more efficiently.
The 3 major file systems are FAT, FAT32 and NTFS
FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS.
Windows 98 supports FAT filesystems only. Windows XP supports FAT and NTFS filesystems.

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).
Under Windows I believe the only file system with full support for this is NTFS. On the Mac its standard HFS+ file system has always supported this. On Unix and Linux all native file systems supported this.
