I was trying to create a new partition on my macbook by booting through Recovery USB using the disk Utility. But I am unable to create a partition since it throws a "Cannot unmount disk" error. I tried to manually unmount the drive but it doesn't work.

  • You can't unmount it because the Recovery Partition HD is on that drive.

Try Erasing the the existing partition first. If the drive has been claimed by CoreStorage, you won't be allowed to change the partitions until it's clean.
