If the drive was formatted using Disk Utility there is a very hidden  
option for "Apple Partitioning Scheme" or "PC Partitioning Scheme".   
The Apple Partitioning Scheme is the default.  The only documentation  
I could find on those options is a note that if you want to be able  
to mount the drive on a PC you must use the PC Partitioning Scheme.   
I suspect that the Apple Partitioning Scheme uses a different format  
for the partition map which may not be handled by anything else.
