Yeah, I made the same mistake once too.

The trick is not to confuse a file system with a partition type. 
They're completely separate options.  You can select any combination of 
file systems and partition types, even combinations that can never exist 
in the real world.  So if you turn on MS-DOS file system support, you 
also need to turn on MS-DOS partition support.
