Optiplex 760 and 3TB Hard Disk Windows 7

Hi All

I need a bit of help, Got a new 3TB disk and Windows 7 home (64bit) to put on the Optiplex 760.  

During the Windows install it will only detect apx 2047gb, with 746gb unallocated and i dont have a option to do anything with this 746gb at this point, once Windows is installed I have the same issue in computer manager I can see the 2047gb as my main disk and the 746 is unallocated but i cant do anything with it there no options, i have tried to extend the 2047 volume into this space but it wont let me.

I have updated the BIOS from A07 to A16 but this has not resolved the issue.

I read a bit about uefi bios and hybred efi can anyone tell me if the above system with this BIOS will in anyway support my 3TB hard disk as 3TB or is there a way I can split the partitions as I would be happy to make a 30gb or so o/s partition and then use the other 2.7TB as a D drive for files etc.

Thanks
