Save the Zip Files then take a look inside them.

FAT is a "File System" which uses a "File Allocation Table" to track the location of all files on a FAT32 hard drive. The FAT files system is usually found when using an older Operating System, such as Windows 98.

NTFS is a more modern File System which was released by Microsoft with the intention of replacing FAT. However, due to the fact that the older operating systems cannot read NTFS drives, FAT drives are still common, particularly with removable drives.

There is plenty of information on Google about FAT and NTFS.
