Unable to mount WD SSD, GPT/sector boundary issue

I have a simple thing I want to do (mount a 4Tb WD drive via my hot-swap bay) but my OS (Debian Jessie) apparently isn't playing nice.

Mount auto/vfat claimed I wasn't dealing with a valid block device and fdisk -l revealed:

GPT PMBR size mismatch (976754645 != 3519069871) will be corrected by w(rite).

Disk /dev/sdb: 3.7 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors

Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device     Boot Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1           1 976754645 976754645 465.8G ee GPT

Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Some Googling found the following description of the solution.

Here's the problem; the drive is a backup from a postdoc and all of the solutions in that link and others I can find involve resizing/relocating various sections of the hard drive. This is something I've never really liked doing even when doing it from within the native OS of the file system in question, let alone from within Linux to resize a Windows partition or something as the risk of losing data seems high.

Does anyone has any solutions which won't involve moving things around?
