I'm using 3TB WD Red as external hard drive. When I connect it into WIndows 7 it shows all the partition, it works normally and I can access all of it. But the problem occurs in Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit. It shows the 1TB partition as RAW.
on Windows 10 system

on Windows 7, it's normal

What could be the problem? is there any specific drivers should I install?
it's on GPT by the way.

You might also want to check out the health of the drive with the WD Data Lifeguard program as a precaution to determine whether you might be dealing with a defective drive.

Possibly the USB enclosure could also be the culprit. Assuming you could remove the HDD from the enclosure and install it internally in your Win 10 system, do so.

WD Data lifeguard program still recognizing that one drive as RAW. However, I connected it again in Windows 7 because the partitions appear normal there, I just back it up and reformatted the partition over there. Connected it back in windows 10 and the partition finally shows itself.
