Greetings all; I should also note that as I prepare that disk for a 2nd wheezy install, that I have finally located a partitioning utility that claims it can deal with these new-fangled 4k/sector drives. I was not able to satisfy fdisk with anything I did with gparted, but gdisk saw the problem and fixed it automatically, so a "w" to actually commit it to the drive was all I needed to do after running it against that drive.
No complaints from any of them now. So "gdisk" would seem to be _thee_ tool to prepare these 1Tb and up drives. Looks a lot like fdisk in operation. No gui IOW. Now if I can just convince the &^$# installer to use what it finds, it always wants to argue the point.
