You mentioned that you thought someone had had problems with Windows on a WUTIL-formatted disk, and suggested using alternatives. I wrote the current author of WUTIL about this, and got the following reply (letter of 28 Aug 90 from Vinzenz Esser): "I'm running Windows on my Rainbow and I'm using WUTIL exclusively. I've never had any problems with Windows on my RD32/ST251 recognizing any of three MS-DOS partitions. Right now I'm using two RD53/Micropolis1325 (67MB) drives on the CHS controller with three MS-DOS partitions on the first drive and two MS-DOS partitions on the second. Windows does see and can access all five of them without a problem." Assuming you've got a Turbow board, you may find WUTIL preferable to what you have been using next time you have to reformat or repartion. This is because of WUTIL's ease of use and its Turbow boot loader which gives faster boot-up.
