fdisk in Arch LInux can't modify my USB drive

I don't want to repeat myself, so here you go: the original question.
I managed to get my USB drive to be recognized by Windows, as you can read here: solution.
But what I am interested in is why fdisk didn't delete the partition table, altough it claimed that it did (parted showed the same thing, too). Only Gparted did everything right (but on Ubuntu, not Arch). What is also strange is that the method I used to create NTFS partitions descibed in my question I already used several times, but this is the first time that it didn't work. Is this mine mistake, or Slackware Installation Disk is "specific", or is it something else?
