Have tried diskpart, tried convert to GPT, Clean etc, but still only see 750GB, HOW can I get the full 3tb. PS want setup 3tb with partitions.
 
Please ensure your storage controller drivers are up to date(some older drivers may have issues with the larger drives). If you have an Intel based system, make sure you are running the latest version of Intel Rapid Storage.

Also, what does diskmgmt.msc(search it in start or run it with Start + R) show for the drives total size.
