That first partition is the MSDOS "Master Boot Record (MBR)." You
cannot use it in another parition if you are slicing the disk.

Was there a questions somewhere in here? What do you want to do? It
sounds like you need to put a filesystem on the first slice. If you
had data on it you wanted to get at... Might be time to go to your
backups.
