gdisk will seamlessly convert an existing DOS partition table made by say
fdisk, parted, gparted, ... to GPT format on the fly without disturbing the
any actual parttions ( you may want to back up first though ... ) .
Additionally, I have not had any problems getting 3-4 year old standard dumb
BIOS to boot from a 3TB drive . Never tried with UEFI though.
