NTFS write support was (maybe still is) very experimental and I wasn't even sure if it was possible to create a NTFS partition in Linux.
Certainly my Ubuntu machine doesn't seem to have the necessary mkfs.ntfs although Google says it does exist. I would be astounded if it came in the Debian installer.
If it was with Woody, it's sure to be in Sarge. I'll report back in due course.
I'm 99% certain that cfdisk can create partitions of *type* NTFS (along with the other types it can "create" and knows about, iirc the partition type identifier is a Hex value written to the partition table), but you won't actually be able to format them.
Thanks Adam
