Don't use FDISK if you're trying to get NTFS format (it's too old) -
use a Windows 2000 or XP or Vista boot CD to do the partitioning, and
use either the CD or a running system to format the drive.

I'm not sure what Windows formatting options you get with a Mac. Can
it format a drive as NTFS, for instance?
The consensus in the Windows world is to use NTFS to format NT,
Windows 2000, XP, and Vista boot disks. You can't use NTFS for DOS or
Windows 98/95/ME. You can't even read NTFS disks
