Got my new caddy today and it works fine with a new 3 tb drive, easy to format etc. in disk management.

The screwed up drive readily accepts being reformatted in disk management but only to the default displayed size of 7-800 gb

I'm sure there is a way to do this at the 3 Tb size but for the life of me I can't remember how since disk management only displays the one volume size.
There's got to be a work-around for this somehow. I thought about cloning but was afraid that would only recognize the size as the 7-800 gb size.

I checked the WD web site but it seems only to cover a displayed 3tb size disk using disk management on my Win 7 64 bit machine.
