create ntfs partition fdisk

[Cyber Source]

You dont need the ntfs toosl to use fdisk to make an ntfs partition but 
you would need them if you want to format the ntfs partition from within 
Linux. It formats the partition beautifully but what it doesnt do is 
write the signature to be able to boot windows from the partition after. 
It is id 7 for ntfs and id c for fat32. Again you can format the fat32 
from within Linux but it doesnt put the signature to boot from. (sys).
