    What if you delete the partition, convert gpt and then create a new partition?

    Thanks for your help. I've now deleted the partition in Partition Wizard and created a new formatted partition. The disk is now inactive. The DISKPART selection commands now work but I'm mystified why the previous commands didn't work.
