Best Answer

The NTFS file system will allow you to use the full capabilities of Windows XP. For example. EFS (encrypted file system) will only work on an NTFS partition. However, if you have upgraded from a previous version of Windows to Windows XP it is likely that your file system will be FAT32. If you have a dual boot computer, using a previous version of windows or a Linux installation and intend on accessing some of your files from both operating systems, you will need to use FAT32 as older versions of Windows and Linux cannot read NTFS.
