3tb WD elements is not recognized by my pc

When I plug the drive in my 3.0 Port my pc doesnt recognize the drive.
When I plug the drive into my 2.0 Port my pc does recognize it and I can use it.

What do I have to do??

The Elements is a USB 2.0 drive  http://www.wdc.com/en/products/external/desktop/
