What you are doing is fiddling with the partition type in the
partition table.  If you make your linux partition a "hidden"
partition, then windows won't find it, and it will be happy.  If you
forget to "unmap" it before booting linux, you will get interesting
error/warning/info messages.

If you map your windows partition to 0x81 (or whatever), then boot
linux and run fdisk on the disk windows is on, you won't see the
partition as "fat32".
