I just did a clean UEFI installation of Windows 8 Pro on my laptop following this guide: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorial...e-firmware-interface-install-windows-8-a.html. Did a quick format and converted the drive to GPT before starting the installation process. The installer created the 4 required partitions (Recovery, System, MSR, and Primary) and I installed Windows on the Primary Partition. However, now that I'm actually loaded up in Windows the MSR partition is not showing up. This is what it looks like for me right now:
If I'm understanding this correctly, the MSR reserved partition is supposed to be between the EFI System Partition and the C: Partition but it's not there. Is this right or did I do something wrong? Excuse my lack of experience. This is my first time with Windows 8, UEFI, and GPT.
