I have an HP all in one PC with a Seagate 500GB SATA HD. I need to clone it.

I've connected a 1TB HD via USB and boot to my Acronis Universal CD. When I select clone, it shows the 500GB drive as a GPT partition and it's greyed out.

According to Acronis KB, I should be able to clone a GPT disk using ATI Home 2011 w/ plus pack.

Why can I not access this drive?

Limitations on dynamic disks and GPT disks support in Acronis True Image Home 2010 Plus Pack and Acronis True Image Home 2011 Plus Pack:
◦RAID-1 (Mirrored) and RAID-5 volumes are not supported. See also Acronis True Image Home: RAID Support;
◦Creation of Acronis Secure Zone is not supported;
◦Recovery of a dynamic volume as a dynamic volume with manual resizing is not supported;
◦GPT disks can be recovered only "volume-to-volume" without the possibility of resizing;
◦Try&Decide cannot be used for protecting dynamic and GPT disks;
◦Clone disk operation is not supported for dynamic and GPT disks

You'll have to do a backup and restore.
