when i run disk genius, one of my drives is partially covered by a red triangle with a white exclamation mark in it.
when i click on the disk, a "partition table problem report" window pops up saying "error: GUID primary partition table damage".

the online DG manual says to hit 'correct' and then 'save all'...i do that, but the exclamation mark does not go away. if i click on the disk again i do not get the error, but if i close DG and re-open it the same error pops up again when i click on the drive.

i have run a bad sector search (no problems)...the SMART info says the drive is good with no problems showing...the 'storage pool information' all looks good...any ideas?

I would move all the files off the drive you want to keep to another drive temporarily.
I then would Delete ALL the partitions on this drive using DiskGenius or DiskPart in Command Prompt running the Clean Command. The disk should now be all Unallocated Space.
Just for a laugh, you can run a Surface Test in DG, to check again for Bad Sectors. If no Bad Sectors, then check to Make sure it is Initialized GPT for UEFI Bios, in DG, then create a New Partition, Format it NTFS.
You should no longer have the partition error.

A partition error during Windows installation or when working with disk partitions can be persistent if not addressed properly. The error may indicate a problem with the disk's partition table, a corrupted file system, or an issue with the installation media itself. Resolving the error often involves using tools like diskpart to clean the disk, convert to a compatible partition style (like GPT), or repair the file system.
