Does this look like, all these partitions

I run 3 HDS. 1 SSD, and 2 normal drives.

I just clean formatted my SSD © and installed Windows 8 on it, which I always put on that drive.
However I am seeing a bunch of partitions, 4 recovery partitions. Are these normal? If not, how would I get rid of them?

Looks like you upgraded to Windows 8.1 x2 times, than when you done the reinstall did not clean the SSD first

To clean install:
1) Clean the HD Drive, using Step one in this tutorial:
SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation - Windows 7 Help Forums
than
[DEL]2a) Clean install with the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disk.[/DEL]
