You have to convert it to GPT partitioning scheme.
In MBR mode only 2TB are accessible.
If your 3TB drive is also a boot drive, then this is a bit more complicated. After conversion to GPT your system will not boot without additional fixup manipulations.

First, can you go into your BIOS, and make sure that the boot manager files are all on your SSD?
Is there something that says system reserved in Disk Manager?
If so, you need to move that to another drive, as that's what lets your PC startup.
