So, your disk does not contain a valid secondary GPT header. That explains the complaints about a corrupt secondary GPT partition table. At this point, options include: 1. Ignore it. 2. Zero-fill the last 33 sectors of the disk. 3. Zero-fill all the sectors after sda5. This topic was a tangent off your OP. Are there any remaining issues that you wish to discuss?
well only that if it looks like it was a partition is there not something that would report on the drive in a more muppet readable form.
As for the virtualisation I got some SSDs and I'll play around. cheers mick
