Raw in photoshop?

I uploaded my RAW photos off camera and then when i try to open them with PS7 they dont appear
Anyone know why?
Got me confused.
I normally use Superfine compression on the camera so they upload as jpegs but the RAW ones wont come up??
Please help its driving me crazy!!

You need to get the adobe plugin which is included in Photoshop CS, but not in PS7, the plugin does cost money, so if you are looking for why, that is the problem.

Download Capture One DSLR Version 1.3.1 from http://www.c1dslr.com trial version that will allow you to convert your RAW images. I am contemplating purchasing it, but the cost of the Pro version is not cheap, does an excellent job. They have cheaper versions of it, just not as featured as the Pro version.

for the help, i can convert them to tiff, that'll have to do, cant afford the C1 software but thank for pointing it out.
