well since its empty, delete it and try again.

If you still have an issue tell us how you are creating this partition and how you are trying to use it. Ie - I created it on a mac using HSF+ format and am trying to use it on my windows 8 pc thru usb

popatim :

Yeah its still not working, what did was i went to disk management and created a new volume of 50 gb then a allocated it a letter and label, Games and G, and then it said it will format it so i pressed ok, then it says immediately i dont have permission so i press continue. I go to my computer and the new games folder that is beside my c drive, i click on it and dont find any new folder button so i try to paste a random word doc in it and it pops up with the message 'this disk is write protected,' so i searched the internet and many say i go to cmd and do clear readonly i do all this and it still says write protected.

So i did this again and for some reason the format only works if you format it by right clicking on the drive itself in my computer after it formats it says error you do not have permission retry. i click on the folder and try to create a new folder and again same problem. 'write protected'
this is where i am stuck on...what shall i do..

is this an internal drive or an external?

I assuming from what you've said you tried this?
http://www.pcworld.com/article/245174/restore_access_to_a_write_protected_hard_drive.html
instead of the disk clear command try: Attributes volumes clear readonly

So next i would use hiren's boot disk on it and run dariks boot n nuke on that drive and start over.

Not sure if this will help but have you tried taking ownership of the newly created partition? It might be a permissions issue. To change permissions or to take ownership try the following:
Right click on the drive, click on properties, and then click on the security tab. If your name is not on the list of Group or User names then click on edit and try adding your name and select the permissions you need. To take ownership of the drive click on Advanced and click on the Owner tab.
