So I have a SSD as my boot disk and I also have a 3TB hard drive as my other drive. I just finished going through the process of initializing that hard drive. The issue now is when I go to new simple volume it will only ally me to make a 2TB primary partiion with NTFS. I used MBT and not GPT. Now I have 2048.00 GB hard drive assigned but it still shows 746.52 GB unallocated and it will not let me extend the volume or do anything with it. Any help would be greatly helpful. Thank you in advance!

Well, that's because MBR tops out at 2 GB per drive. Period. You will have to re-initialize it as GPT to use the remaining space. Sorry.

Another pair of eyes always helps.
I learned the programming trade back in the 1970s, before interactive debuggers were available. One of the best debugging techniques was to explain the problem to someone else. By the time you were through explaining, you could see the answer.
