I have a Seagate Barracuda XT with marked capacity of 3000GB. It was

The drive had a MBR/DOS partition table type. I used gparted to change
that to GPT. However, gparted sees only 746.52GB on the drive. It still has
a DOS/MBR boot sector.
What can I do to find the missing space on the drive and remove the MBR
since it's no longer needed.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/my_raw_scratch_disk bs=1M count=1
This will zero the first megabyte of the disk, wiping any existing
partition table. Then try partitioning again. Be sure you are using
the whole device and not a partion (i.e. /dev/sdX and not /dev/sdXN).
