are you trying to format C: drive? cuz if you are... you cant. you gotta use a windows xp disc, to delete your partition, then format your hd...this must be done with windows not loaded... you cannot format something using an operating system and having the same OS running on the same drive.

no this is not the drive running windows.

look ive got two harddrives

one ive partitioned .. and the other i havent

so i have

drives C, D and E

C and E are in the same harddrive (physical)...

C is the one i want to format

im running Windows on E

Because it takes the letter "C" windows will fight it. Get a DOS boot disk from someplace or use UBCD to format the drive/partition.
