fdisk/mkfs problem

["john smith" <inquirer23@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
I have created a dos partition via linux's fdisk (FAT32) now I try to write 
it I get ioctl() error..telling me that the resource or device is busy and 
tells me to reboot and check that the partition is updated. I did that and 
it shows in the partition table but now when I try to format it using mkfs 
-t FAT32 or mkfs -t Win95 FAT32 it doesn't allow me to do it. (permission 
denied).

Can somebody please help me out?
