I got a 16Gb micro SD to use in a raspberry pi 3, and today I installed the OS with the program downloaded from microsoft website. However I noticed that the SD card was formatted in a strange way: a main 64Mb FAT partition, a 600Mb,a 4.2Gb and another 2,5Gb all unkown and not recognized by windows. Also 8Gb of unallocated space. I know this is normal, but how can I access the data partition? What if I want to deploy a large file inside my card?

  • I have used the Windos IoT core installer that flashed the SD card and partitioned it

  • No, I'm asking what you used to clear the SD card before hand.

  • If you have a Windows PC, download the official SD Card Formatter and format it completely there. The Windows 10 IoT installer should set up partitions for you.

Well, it looks like there is no way to do it from the SD card, but because I installed Windows IoT, there is a built-in FTP and file sharing server. To access them, just turn the raspberry on and:

  • for the FTP connect to ftp://
  • for file sharing open file explorer and type \\c$
