i'v just installed windows 8.1 to a new laptop, i created 3 partitions on the hard drive during the installation process, after i installed the windows i can't find the other two partitions, it's only the C partition when i open my computer window, i checked using disk management, the two partitions were there, they are primary but the file system is set to RAW, I've been googling for an hour but i'm not sure how do i get my partitions working, it's a new laptop so there is no need for any data recovering.

  • If there are RAW then they don't have a filesystem.

  • @Adam: In Disk Management (Start > Run > diskmgmt.msc) right-click and assign drive letters to those partitions.
