Win 2008 - accessing disk volumes greater than 2GB

IOmeter 2008-06-28 appears to only make available physical disks that are MBR and not GPT formatted.
Is there a work around or some procedures to use in disk management section of Win??
 
thanks for any assistance

Iometer does not discern partition format types. The only reason you should not see a physical disk is if it had partitions on it. Can you confirm if this is the case?
 
The upcoming release will have the ability to override this at serious user risk. :)

I'm not sure how to confirm that.  I used the disk mgmt utility to convert the "basic" disk to either GPT or MBR type.  In the case of MBR it creates a 2048MB partititon(?) and then the remaining space is shown in an adjacent partition.  With GPT, all space is displayed in a single partition.  What utility would be used to examine the space more closely - diskpart??  Does the conversion process leave some artifacts behind that IOmeter is examining?
Would sequential writes from IOmeter in MBR mode zero the early blocks where this information might be housed?
