Incompatible creation of NTFS or FAT32 volumes with DiskUtil and Terminal

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Take any external HD
2. Use Disk Utilities or Terminal to create a NTFS partition
3. Try to mount that one on another WinXP PC

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The drive/volume should mount on any WinXP PC, but it doesn't. I have never
had success in activating it, although the drive seems to be physically
recognized. Tried starting up with the drive attached, checking the driver
on XP (which is the M$ standard, no newer version available//SP2).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MacFUSE 1.7 with NTFS-3G 1.2812 [ublio], on 10.5.4.

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems that any external drive or volume for that matter, that I format
with DiskUtilities, does not show up on other Win PCs. I tried with three
different external drives, they all don't show up on a bog standard WinXP
box (not talking BootCamp here).

An untouched 10.4.11 installation without MacFUSE formats FAT32 fine and
mountable on other PCs. I don't know if this is a NTFS3g or MacFUSE issue,
but it's a serious bummer that needs a fix.
