If the reason I'm encountering this problem at start-up is
because, after formatting the drive in Windows, Linux doesn't
know the filesystem type, my follow-up question would be:
how do I get past the error (which causes the boot to
stop in its tracks) to be able to make the necessary change?
I would prefer it if Linux could read the partition, since I was
thinking of using that as a shared space for things like mp3s,
etc. that I'd like to be able to access from both OSs.

When Linux is trying to mount that partition, does it know it's an
msdos partition?
/etc/fstab (I think) is the file to check for that.
Alternatively: do you want/need Linux to read the windows partition
anyway? :) If not, the solution is simple.
