Q: Format external HD with GUID to enable eDrive

New external (LaCie 2T) HD is formatted w/ OS Extended (Journaled). Error message when I try to create an eDrive reads: "The seclected drive is using the Master Boot Record partition scheme.  It should be Apple Partition Map or GUID to create an eDrive."  I do not understand how to create an Apple Partition Map or GUID; Disk Utility doesn't seem to speak to me about this. The bizarre thing is that this is the identical model of HD - albeit newer by 3 yrs. - that replaces the full one.   I am running OSX 10.8.2. Would very much appreciate how-to help... 

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), LaCie 2T External HD
