Can't Format Drive

[Allan Mc]

Trying to format my primary drive. Always get message,
can' format drive is in use, or Access Denied. Tried to
force a dismount using Format C: /x and tried using the
dismount command using the FSUTIL command. I am logged
on as Administrator.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Allan
