gotta format the partition in linux (unless you want to use linux ntfs
support, not recommended but possible).
mkfs aka mke2fs is what you gotta do (after you change the ID, and reboot
if you have the disk mounted elsewise.  if you can unmount all partitions on
it (ie if you have / on another physical disk), you can skip the reboot.
