    Installing second hard drive without formatting

    Hi Joel,

    Based on the information you've provided, it appears that your 3TB Seagate hard drive is designed to work as an external hard drive, that's why you are being asked to format it when connected and used as an internal.

    For best advice on accessing and keeping the data on the hard drive without formatting, we suggest that you get in touch with the manufacturer.

    Should you have other Windows concern, feel free to contact us.

    Regards.
