The standard is fixed yes but some earlier portable devices used to write a cut down version of the GPT (i.e.. no Secondary GPT header to save space) and for some reason these cut down versions are sometimes non-readable in some systems.. I am though going back about 12 years

It seems like a simple overwrite of the device by a MAC preparing it for data.. I hate it when a system thinks that just because it can not read it then it should be prepared for writing
Hopefully if the files were a sequential write then Lee will get back all of them (most likely on a solid state USB memory device)
