Simple volume is probably the best option here, and from there it will take you to sizing. Choose what sizes you want and away you go.

Out of curiosity, why so many partitions?

It was formatted into a different file system, RAW, rather than NTFS. I would just reformat it into NTFS and see if that works.

Looking at your partitioning, Windows 7 on a 15gb partition is not good.
Why do you want so many partitions?

As theOG said, you cannot have more than 4 primary partitions on a disk. It should be working just fine, if you test it out through copying some files and opening them that will answer your question :)

  • Primary partition - a primary partition can be used to boot an Operating System. Your Windows OS is installed on a primary partition.
  • Extended partition - an extended partition is used to hold logical drives.
  • Logical drives - logical drives hold files unrelated to the Operating System - pretty much everything else on your computer - data, audio, video, etc.
