There are several YouTube videos that show how to fix this. Use Fn key plus F10 before trying Shift plus F10. For example:

MBR disks use the standard BIOS partition table. GPT disks use unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI). 

 

Check out this tutorial on how to convert a data disk from MBR to GPT with third party software MiniTool Partition Wizard.
