I ran into an issue, that I didn't think would be one.
I've been using an External USB 3.0 enclosure for a 2TB Hard Drive with an NTFS file system.
It's my media drive, I thought I'd be moving it around, I haven't so I would like to put it in my system. When I removed the Hard Drive from the enclosure and mounted in side the computer, I started up the system and the Hard Drive was their but not accessible. I viewed the Disk Manager and noticed the file system was now RAW. I restarted the system with the same out come. I then removed the hard drive and re-enclosed it in the usb 3.0 enclosure. The 2TB hard drive was once again viewable to the system.
Is their a reason the system would see the Hard Drive as RAW when installed internally but not in the original enclosure?(This was a third-party enclosure, the hard drive did not originally come with the enclosure) If anyone has thought I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
