I'm getting the same errors. I had a FAT32 partition I wrotew a reiserfs
filesystem over and the reiserfs drive shows up in Windows, as a drive
with lots of crap in it thta needs formatting.
Basicallly, mkreiserfs didn't set the partition ttype properly. Check
this out [the partition is /dev/hda5]
[root@sexbomb wine]# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 3649 cylinders

Basically, you need to use fdisk to chnage the partition ID to reiserfs
[or Ext2 if you're stuck in the stone ages].
I'm gonna check and lodge a bug report when I can be bothered.
