So you could dd 512 bytes of /dev/zero to the drive, or use
"wipefs -a
/dev/sdX", then use parted to "mktable gpt" and set up partitions.
That will not work. Parted replaces the PMBR in such a case. So does gdisk.
wipefs -a after parted or gdisk will cause both PMBR and GPT primary
and backup headers to be invalidated. So to wipe or invalidate the
PMBR has to be done with dd.
