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.

That's weird, but use one of the programs we mentioned then. Windows' partitioning software is glitchy sometimes.

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
