So, your disk does not contain a valid secondary GPT header. That

At this point, options include:
1. Ignore it.
2. Zero-fill the last 33 sectors of the disk.
3. Zero-fill all the sectors after sda5.
This topic was a tangent off your OP. Are there any remaining issues

well only that if it looks like it was a partition is there not
something that would report on the drive in a more muppet readable form.
As for the virtualisation I got some SSDs and I'll play around.
