cerebus,I know there is no reason to do so. As I said in my original post: No special reason, just because. I just wanted all my drives to be GPT. Guess I was bored :) Also, I'm hardly a newby. I asked, Shawn answered. 2ndly, I had never tried a MBR to GPT conversion before and wanted to see how it worked. The answer is, if you are careful and select the right drive, it works very well.
Anyway, all is well now. EaseUs Partition Recover Wizard ran overnight and I just now had it do the actual recovery and it worked perfectly and all 4 partitions are back and usable again.
This is what it looks like now and how it looked before.
... and all 3 disks are now GPT as I wanted:
