Add New Disk: 2nd 3TB visible as 746.5 GB
I installed 2 identical Seagate 3TB disks on Windows 8.1, Dell Studio XPS 435T/9000. Apparently my PC doesn't support this capacity. I ran the free Seagate DiscWizard (an Acronis product), which asked me to manually install VirtualDiskSetup from Acronis site. I did and it fortunately recognized one of the disks as 3 TB.
I figured out that I should try the proper Acronis product at set up the backups. I installed True Image trial, launched "Add New Disk", but as you can see from the attached images, only 1 of the 2 identical Seagate disks shows up as 3 TB.
I ran VirtualDiskSetup again, chose "Repair", relaunched Add New Disk. Now it recognized the 2nd disk as 3TB, but when I chose to initialize it, I got a blue screen of death with a crash in vidsflt.sys. On reboot this 2nd disk was back to 746.5 GB.
Thank you!

I think you should be using Windows Disk Management to add these drives to your machine not Acronis. Your screenshots show that you have 3 Primary Master disks installed. Primary Master partitions are where an system OS is installed. Your remaining partitions or disks can be Primary but should not be Primary Master.
