WD Green 3TB

I just installed WD Green 3TB into my PC. However I can only get 2TB on my computer. I was looking at the Computer Management, there is 746GB not allocated. There is no option for me to format or do anything about it. Can anyone advise me on this problem? Will be greatly appreicated.

Hi, to access the hard drive full capacity, you need to initialize it using the GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition table. Check the links below for the steps.
