Given the fact that DOS' fdisk is willing to create only one DOS
partition outside the extended partition, I must assume you created
those partitions with a Linux fdisk.  Among the options on that fdisk
program should be an option to change the type of a partition.  Try
changing it to DOS 16 bit FAT >= (or <=, as the case may be) 32 Mb.
If DOS still doesn't like that, *then* delete at least the DOS partition
and make that partition with DOS' fdisk.
