Are you formatting drive "m"??? It sounds like you are trying to format
the boot drive. Try reading up on the process at someplace like the URL
below:
http://www.perfectdrivers.com/howto/fdisk-format.html
It may well be that something as drastic as formatting is not really
needed....there are ways to eliminate viruses, you know.
Heirloom, old and format if you must

You would be if you formatted your OS partition while you were using it.

Are you trying to accomplish anything in particular ?
