Greg,
While I feel bad for @jjoeuser, I'm now curious about the diffs between
MBR drives and GPT drives.This thread shines light on
something new based on 'EFI Bios.'
As I upgrage my PC's am I creating GPT drives???? If so, and they work,
Fine. Just wondering what I may be doing.
Thank you for your experience.

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.

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.

joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...

I don't think that's it--I've moved UEFI to UEFI, BIOS to BIOS, and BIOS to
UEFI.
