[quote loveshine]So if I am understanding this, Apple should have formatted the drive with GUID.
Since this is all new to me, where do we look to see that a drive is formatted GUID or not?
I checked Disk Utility and I didn't see GUID in the description of my G5 hard drives.
Where do you select GUID in the formatting options and is the choice just between GUID and APM ?
In Disk Utility.
Click on the on the HDD, the one that is on top.
On the bottom of the window a "Disk Description" will appear with a bunch of info including "Partition Scheme."
The "Help Menu" describes this in detail.
