How to/should I use diskpart to format my partition?

[Feliks]

I'm doing a multi boot system and Windows wouldn't install because the partition for Windows was formatted as FAT32 (I formatted through Mac) so from the installer I hit "Repair Windows > Advanced Options > Command Prompt" and am using the diskpart commands. I selected the drive, selected the partition, and now I need to format it to NTFS so that I can install Windows on it. What command do I use?

(and any idea what the tag COMPRESS would be? is that a bad idea? According to microsoft, it means

COMPRESS (NTFS ONLY)
Files created on the new volume will be compressed by default

is using the COMPRESS tag only recommended in advanced cases, like is using it a bad idea?

Commands I ended up using
diskpart
list disk
Select disk 0
list partition
Select Partition 4
FORMAT fs=ntfs label=”Windows OS”
