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)
