You did not typo the error code. I apologize for my misstatement.
Disk management gave me an error when I tried to format
raw space (green bar) rather than unallocated space (black bar).
Which do you have - raw or unallocated? If raw, delete it, create
a simple volume and format it. Delete again until you get back
to unallocated, then extend into the space from either side.
