Oh, just click Delete Volume, then make a new one.
How, because when I do that entirly doesnt show up DM again. To fix that I have to plug it into my TV PVR again. Let reformat it again. Then it will show up again, otherwise...its doesnt.

Finally fix it, I didnt exacly follow the instruction on Creating Dynamic disk to Basic Disk. But I used Partion Wizard , which actually allowed me to create a new partition. Which worked :D
