My Vista not recognizing 3TB drive as 3TB.

I bought the Seagate barracuda 3TB and it shows as 746 GB on my Windows Vista SP2 32-bit. I have asked this problem at Seagate forum and the one guy who replied didn't know how to solve it. I am using the 3TB Seagate drive in my Rosewill RX-358-U3B enclosure, and I have read that a Hitachi 3TB had no compatibility issues in that particular enclosure. Does anyone know how to have my Windows Vista SP2 Home Premium 32-bit realize that the Seagate drive is 3TB?

This is my hard drive:
