Yes fdisk cannot delete the partition i created before.
I could create 2. partition arround 100 giga. but i wanted to create only one partition on this disk unit. But couldn't. So that i changed from ext3 to LVM using mkfs.
Then it is done.
 
Everything is OK now.

So are you trying to use LVM or straight ext3 for the new partition?
