Thanks for the reply, but I was actually able to repair the partition
table by using the gdisk tool, once I decided to just go for it.

As far as I can figure, I had booted into Windows 7 disk that I have
on this machine.  I was trying to format an external drive as
NTFS...something in disk manager must have screwed up the partition
table, even though this is not the disk I was working on.  I've had
this disk for 3 or 4 years and been in 3 different machines and never
had a problem with it. I think it was the 1st disk I ever used gpt
and labels on - thanks to your guide!
