You have to convert the disk to GPT to access the full 3TB.

Right click on the little box to the far left that says Disk 1 in it. It will give you the option to convert the disk to GPT.

Nope, if you want to use more than 2TB the drive has to be set to GPT. Anything over 2TB on a drive set to MBR won't be usable.
