You friend must be trying to format the partition from Windows thats why its giving error. Try what mav3 suggested. Boot using XP or Vista Setup CD/DVD and then format it.

Re: Any veterans in Vista please hlep.... 

There are 3 options:

1. Use some partitioning software like Partition Magic. They can format the partition at reboot time if its under use of Windows.

2. If XP Setup is not working, it means the CD is corrupt.

3. In Vista DVD choose repair option and it'll open Command Prompt, then you can format the partition.
