Comment (by pulkomandy):
If you rewrote only the MBR, it may leave parts of the GPT as I
mentionned. These are stored at the start and end of the disk.
If that's the case, erasing the last 32 and first 34 sectors of the disk
(except sector 0 where the MBR is).

You can check with DriveSetup if what's there looks like GPT data (you
would see the "EFI PART" marker, for example). Make sure to backup before
erasing things.
