Goats:
Please do not take this the wrong way, but in the future can you use actual sentences, puntuation, and upper case where appropriate? Posts such as this are so damn hard to read! This is not a text message to a friend via your cell phone, it is a post to a well known forum used all over the world!

Seems you solved your problem: it appears you were trying to format your active, primary partition from windows, and you cant do that while booted from that partition in windows!
