Comment (by bebop):
While I understand that this is frustrating, I think that the behavior
that you are describing is correct behavior. Partitions and file systems
are completely separate from each other. Even in Linux, for instance, you
could create an NTFS partition, then format it ext4.
However, if other developers feel that partition types should be kept
inline with file system type, I would be willing to implement that
feature. Otherwise, just remember to tell Windows that you are not an
idiot and do not want to format that partition ntfs, and/or partition the
hard drive correctly.
