Hey Liam230. What does it say in Disk Management about the drive? Is it initialized? Here's how to do that: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1018/
Make sure that you select GPT so that you get your full 3TB capacity of the drive.
After it's initialized go ahead and format the drive: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3865/
If this is not the case, it would be helpful if you can post a screenshot of what it says about the drive in Disk Management.
Hope that helps.
