I don't think that will work because it won't be shutting down whatever is using the drive. Assuming you are running Windows XP or possible ME, I would right-click My Computer and go to Manage, and attempt to format the drive there. If it still won't work, you would either need to find out what's using the drive and shut it down, or else create a boot disk and format from DOS before Windows loads.
