The solution was to boot from an earlier version of OS X. I Googled the issue and found that 10.8.4 and 10.8.5 have a bug which was causing this problem to occur with drives of 3 TB and greater capacity. I could not set the partition and GUID option and it was not showing the full capacity of the drive. However Disk Utility formatted it as a “Logical Volume Group”. When I rebooted it was not recognised and required formatting. I recently installed a 3 TB drive in a drive bay of my 2008 Mac Pro. You may need to format the drive in an external enclosure, or using the version of DIsk Utility that came with Snow Leopard, due to a bug introduced in 10.8.4, which I do not believe has been fixed. You may get more answers in the Mac Pro section, rather than here, which is for PowerPC Macs from 10 years ago or more.
