hmm... I was about to re-partition the drive, when I noticed Disk Utility gives a summary of the drive at the bottom of the panel:

Disk Description : G-TECH
Total Capacity : 465.8 GB (500,107,862,016 Bytes)
Connection Bus : FireWire
Write Status : Read/Write
Connection Type : External
S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
Connection ID : 7895605357387082
Partition Scheme : GUID Partition Table

So, it appears the drive is already using "GUID"

Any other ideas?
