Cannot allocate my 3tb hard drive
I have a 3th hard drive, but windows isnt allowing me to allocate more than 2tb to the partition. Im not sure why or how to bypass this

I'm no expert but I did find one. This is Brinks tutorial that should give you the information you need.
Convert MBR Disk to GPT Disk
Delete all partitions on that 3TB drive (after copying any data on it to another drive), initialise your disk as GPT , create volumes and format. More than 2TB HDDs need to be GPT drives. MBR disks can see only 2 TB which is the limit.
that worked! thank you so much guys. one more thing i learned today
