Q: windows 8 does not recognise Macintosh HD, No drive Letter
I re partitioned my mac drive using Yosemite before doing a clean install. and After I installed Windows 8.1 on Boot Camp.
My problem is Windows does not see Macintosh yet Disk Management can see the partition but no drive letter and cannot assign drive letter.
I have File Vault turned off.
Please Advise, Regards
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Yosemite logical volumes cannot be read on Windows bootcamp anymore since they are not HFS+ volumes but they are now CoreStorage. Till Bootcamp is updated with drivers to allow read access to CoreStorage HFS+, you have lost functionality by upgrading to Yosemite. .
You can verify this on the OS X side by running diskutil cs list in OS X terminal. If it returns any output, Windows cannot read such volumes.
