Are you formatting drive "m"??? It sounds like you are trying to format
the boot drive. Try reading up on the process at someplace like the URL
below:

It may well be that something as drastic as formatting is not really
needed....there are ways to eliminate viruses, you know.
Heirloom, old and format if you must
