It worked!!!1!   All hail Louis Tully!!  :notworthy:   :notworthy:   :notworthy:

If anyone else needs to do this, the process is simple:

1. Download the correct version of GParted LiveCD from here and burn the .ISO to a CD-R.

2. Connect the drive you need to configure for GPT.

3. Boot up using the GParted LiveCD -- default settings should be fine.


4. Select the disk to configure for GPT. (Don't accidently nuke the drive with your OS/files ::) )

5. Device -- Create Partition Table -- Advanced -- gpt (Pic shows msdos instead of gpt) -- Apply.
Warning: This will erase all data on the entire disk.


6. HDD is now ready for Win7 install.
