I’ve moved my 3TB hard drive to another USB enclosure, and it no longer works.
Disk manager says “2794.52 GB Healthy (GPT Protective Partition)”.
How to fix that?
I don’t want to reformat, I need the data from that hard drive.
Currently I’m using Windows 8.1 x64, AFAIR the drive was partitioned by Windows 7 x64.

I was unable to solve this, so I've just moved the HDD back to the older USB enclosure, where it works great.
I think it could be a hardware or driver issue. Looks like different USB 3.0 to SATA chipsets have slightly different characteristics, which result in incompatible file systems when the HDD is moved between the USB enclosures :-(
Update: since that time, I've bought a new desktop and connected that HDD directly to SATA without USB. The file system was recognized OK.
