What about doing the partitioning using LiveCD?
You can use Ubuntu for example (or any rescue disc LiveCD which comes with GParted). I prefer Ubuntu because you can use Firefox, pidgin, anything while you mess with the partitions. Like browse the web, check a howto, anything.
Or just copy files easily with the file manager. Boot it up, open a Terminal, and type:
sudo gparted
With the graphical partition manager, create the wanted ones, shrink your current one, do whatever you just want. Apply the changes.
Boot into Windows and if you just can't see it, assign a drive letter. At the managing step, where you wanted to do the partitioning. Right click on the new one.
Let me warn you, always do a backup before you mess with partitions. Another thing: it'll take a lot of time to resize the partition if you got some data there. If you want, of course you can use any Windows based live discs around there.. which I don't really see quite often.
2TB is the maximum partition size of any MBR format disk.
Understanding the 2 TB Limit in Windows Storage
Windows 10 Creators Update provides us a safe, and non-destructive method of converting MBR to GPT using MBR2GPT.EXE. Unfortunately, you don't have Windows 10.
The safest alternative is to just create a secondary partition to use the remaining space. The new partition will show up as a new drive on your computer, and you can save data to it.
Only Windows 7 64-bit running on UEFI hardware supports booting from a GPT partitioned disk drive. If you're running on older hardware, or 32-bit, you are SOL. If your system meets these requirements and you are adventurous, the drive can be converted from MBR to GPT. The official way involves backing up your data and deleting all partitions to create a new GPT layout and then restore data. But, there are ways to convert MBR to GPT without losing data.
WARNING: Always verify you have a good backup of data BEFORE attempting to convert MBR to GPT.
Here are a couple of options:
In my opinion, you really should not be trying this. It is likely to fail. If you need a partition size greater than 2TB, is it unreasonable to expect you to also have a modern operating system, on modern hardware?

A logical drive is a kind of partition on a basic disk (i.e. a disk with a regular MBR partition table). If the only option for new partitions on a disk is to create dynamic drives, it is probably set up as a dynamic disk. You can't create a logical drive on a dynamic disk.

Update:
The Disk Management tools included with Windows 7 can convert an empty dynamic disk back to a basic disk.

Of course, as usual there are ways to do this without having to reformat, but be careful.
