5.8TB iSCSI volume only formatted to 2TB

I found this article

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/LUN_SP1.mspx

that talks about this and says

Note: Disk devices with more than 2 TB of disk space must be converted to GPT format for all of the disk space to be usable. If the device uses MBR format, the disk space beyond 2 TB will be unusable.

My iSCSI box is an IBM DS3300.

How do I make the volume be GPT instead of MBR? My OS is Win03 R2 Sp2 x64.

Thanks!

Just needed 2 more minutes of searching to find this: You can't convert a volume to GPT if there's an existing partition on it. I had to delete the 2TB partition then convert to GPT then create the 5.8TB partition.

I love learning!
