Hi Dave
Followed your directions "APFS Conversion Required" in SuperDuper to reformat my LaCie external drive, until I got to the "Choose GUID partitioning....
No option for GUID partitioning APFS formatting in my disk utility.
Tried to use the convert to APFS command under the EDIT menu.. failed
Got a message:
A GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme is required.
I am unable to partition the drive at all.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jesper
Running Catalina 10.15.1
