I'm not at all suggesting that it didn't happen; I'm just making sure that the rest of the collective knows that this is a freak incident and that it is not a requirement to do anything special in disk management or otherwise when moving a GPT disk. I've worked with a lot of GPT disks many different hardware and operating system configurations--I'm quite certain I would have run in to this if it were a common occurrence. The root cause for the behavior you experienced is, at this point, a mystery.
If you have information from an official source prescribing that a GPT disk be unmounted before powering down (if you're removing a disk live it should always be removed cleanly, GPT or otherwise) and relocating, I'd be interested to see it, as I've not yielded anything. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 9, 2014 10:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] GPT_disk_moving?! Well, I'm very glad for you, I'm also lucky in the fact that nothing there was to critical and/or can be transferred again. However, this did indeed happen. I also looked up the info as I have described to everyone & that is a fact. The only other thing I can think of is, I went from an internal sata port to a USB3 ext sata cable? Regardless. If you have a GPT drive - UNMOUNT/REMOVE from DISK MGMT! If you forget, DO NOTHING - plug it back in where it was & then REMOVE/UNMOUNT... This may or may not apply to UEFI - I don't have UEFI & I don't care to right now. Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...
