#6287: partition-type inconsistency

DriveSetup allows to initialize a partition with a file-system that is not
consistent with the partition type.[[BR]]
If you install a BFS file system onto a partition which type is NTFS,
Windows^[#point1 (1)]^ offers to initialize the partition with a NTFS file
system (which will overwrite Haiku).[[BR]]
If the partition type is correct (BFS), windows doesn't allow any
modification.
So :[[BR]]
either let DriveSetup change the partition type in the MBR according to
the file-system initialised,[[BR]]
or make DriveSetup filter the file system types according to the partition
type.

[=#point1 (1)] I dont know about linux behaviour but I don't want much to
risk it.
