Yeah, I just read a thread about it in this mailing list: On 04/18/2012 10:18 AM, John R Pierce wrote:
do I need to preboot into a shell or something and use parted before I can install ?
I use a bootable CD with gparted to create the GPT partition table and the partitions.
After this, I can boot CentOS and install on the created partitions.

OK, I just used Gparted Live ( http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php , a very useful distro, by the way) to create a GPT partitioned disk. Then I booted the netinstall for CentOS 6.2 - and it just fails to see the data on that disk! It wants to wipe it clean - apparently, to create an MS-DOS partition on it!
How do I get around this now? In short - and this is a question for everybody - how do I install CentOS 6.2 on a GPT partitioned drive, or create a GPT partition as I go?
Thanks.
Boris.
