To be clear, many of the flags such as boot and esp are exclusively a parted/GParted invention and don't exist in other partitioning tools. They internally just cause parted to choose different "partition type GUIDs". With other partitioning tools, selecting a type GUID that's different from Windows' usual "MS Basic Data" is a good start.

Sure, if someone really wants to format it, there’s no way to prevent them. I’ll set the correct type GUID and check next time on a Windows computer that it doesn’t show up as an unknown drive.
