Windows NT4 supports: FAT, NTFS (version 4)
Windows 2000 supports: FAT, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS (versions 4 and 5)
Any FAT and NTFS.
NTFS
NTLDR is indeed a key boot file in Windows 2000 and all of the Windows operating systems since Windows NT. A machine will not boot without that file.
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.
Windows NT4 Service Pack4 and Windows XP Professional
There are like hundreds of them, I cannot list each on of them now.
File Name Extension Associations in Windows 2000 is displayed by the Windows Association parameters. Microsoft support can help you with this. You can get live help at Microsoft Support.
NetBSD, Windows, and Linux each support both FAT and NTFS file systems.
Lots of files are common between the three systems. ddraw.dll, comctl32.dll, nt.dll, etc...

NTFS supports disk quotas. The varieties of FAT do not. UDF and ISO9660 and similar removable media file systems do not support disk quotas. NFS and SMB network file systems will honor any disk quotas that their server enforces.
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.
