I have a 3TB external Expansion Drive from Seagate that I bought solely to extract the drive from to use in my desktop. The case is held together by many plastic clips that you have to use a thin card or tool to pry apart. I followed a guide like this one:

After I took it out, I put it in my desktop and booted up. Windows 7 showed 3 partitions:
- ~300GB, RAW, mounted as drive E
- ~1900GB unallocated
- ~700GB unallocated
I deleted the raw partition, then right clicked on the drive in the storage management view and selected 'Convert to GPT disk'. This converted the disk to a single volume, which I formatted.
Now I'll run some more diagnostics on it, then start transferring data over.
