AFAIK from what you've told me you need to edit /etc/fstab so that it is correct (currently it has /shared as ext3 rather than vfat)
The prompt that is: > (Repair filesystem) 1 # Is fine, it's just your prompt, it just looks a bit different when you're in this mode that's all. You should never change the type of a mounted filesystem. Unmount it. Make the changes to it. **Edit the filesystem configuration files**. Remount it to ensure it all works. Reboot. Having said that, it's also best to format a partition using that partition types native OS i.e. it's best to let windows create a windows filesystem (fat32). (However, this is old advice and I don't know if this is still the current recommendation.) All the best.
