Thanks for this. I have a box full of GPT drives....I was wondering what
I'd do if I needed to upgrade the host mobo...as it is starting to get
old. As all I have are mkv rips from my blu-ray collection, this would
be a LOT of work to do over. So one day I just want to move the drives
over to a new box.

OK, I found out what needs to be done & since no one else knows I
thought I'd share it with you. This way, if you make the same mistake
you'll know what to do.
I guess GPT disks need to be unmounted or removed from disk mgmt & then
there will be no issues at all. I don't know this for certain but
someday I'll have the chance to check this out.
However, if you didn't know any better, like me, the best course of
advice is to just reattach the drive where it was & go from there.
Big differences from MBR to GPT. HTH you guys.

Have a 3TB disk I installed in my Win7 box. Planned to backup a bunch of
stuff & pull the drive for safe keeping. I used GPT as it has the 3TB
support. I pulled drive then put it on a SATA to USB 3 cable to read the
drive. Win7 acted like it never saw it. I opened disk management & it
asked me if I wanted MBR or GPT... I picked GPT & now it wants to format
the drive... WTF did I do?! GPT is foreign to me & Google searching is
making me panic with results! I stopped after selecting GPT, again - I
did not format...
