You need to reformat your new drive since Intel-based Macs used the  
GUID Partition Map. When you do, you will use all of your data so back  
it up. Then,

Open Disk Utility, select the drive (not the volume), click the  
Partition tab, select the number of partitions you want from the pop  
down menu, click Options, select the GUID Partition Table and click OK.
