If you want to add a disk or partition to your LVM, you should 
not format it. Change the partition type to 0x8e and initialize 
it with pvcreate, then add it to LVM with vgextend.

No, that's not possible. A logical volume isn't a disk partition.

What's /dev/hda7? Is that the partition you are trying to add to 
LVM? 

You seem to be confused about the basics of LVM. Read the LVM
