But let's see that screenshot of disk utility. Sadly with all the fakes out there, I hate when I read a post like this.

I recently purchased a 3TB Seagate Expansion external hard drive for PC. My plan is too reformat it so that I can use it, but it has been acting wierd on me. It says on Disk Utility that it is 4 gbs but I have a 3TB one. Im on OSX mavericks by the way. Thanks!

When im at the disk utility it wont let me make any changes to it. Wont let me repair or verify the disk.
My experience of Macs is limited. they'll be back soon.

in Disk Utility and see if it will let you do anything there.
Format it as one (1) partition, if possible.
I note that it is Read Only, which could be a problem.
