Have installed a new 3tb HDD as an overflow drive.

It is only giving me 1.99TB as usable storage and in disk management it is showing as 746.52GB unallocated in black beside the 2048 it has already given me.

When I right click I cannot format to give me the remaining space.

What am I doing wrong here anyone else had this issue?

Will I need to reformat again in order to get the full 2.7tb usable space or is there a dos command I can use to unlock it?
 
Windows 10 - So I need to backup and re-format as GPT

Thinking back MBR is only good for up to 2TB isn't it.

Will let you know how I get on tonight - Thanks.
