fdisk doesn't create filesystems, it creates partitions. You can tag the partition as type 0x07 (NTFS/HPFS) but that's all that fdisk can manage. It will not create the filesystem itself. For that you need to use a utility designed to do so - in linux mkntfs - which is part of the ntfsprogs package.
