I've had problems like this before.

 

Please try going to "Disk Management" tell us what you see there.

^This. Was about to suggest this. Is this a new drive? And old one?

i see one drive called disk 0 with 3 tb

 

[GeoffLucas]

Okay. Right click on it and it should come up with an option like "Start Disk" or "Initialize Disk" or something like that.  This should let you mount the disk and access it.
