i go into command prompt this is what i do and what i get...

C:\Documents and Settings\KingHustler>FORMAT C:
the type of the file system is NTFS.

WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVEABLE DISK DRIVE C: WILL BE LOST!
Proceed with Format (Y/N) Y
Verifying 38146M

Format cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Format may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) Y
Cannot lock the drive. The volume is still in use.

C:\Documents and Settings\KingHustler>FORMAT C:

how can i get around this and erase the whole c drive?

please help
