Allow Setup to create the EFI System Partition by pressing Enter.
After both partitions are automatically created, the Disk partitioning screen is
displayed, as in Figure 4-13.
Figure 4-13
Disk partitioning screen
These partitions are as follows:
±
Partition1: EFI System Partition
±
Partition2: Microsoft Reserved Partition
Do not attempt to install the operating system into first two partitions. Instead,
use the unpartitioned space on the disk to create the data partition.
If the disk you are installing on is still the old Master Boot Record (MBR)
partitioning structure, you should delete all partitions, and press S to change to a
GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning structure. The OS loader and the boot
partition must reside on a GPT disk.
Tip:
At this point, in addition to the EFI System Partition, Setup also creates
the Microsoft Reserved Partition (see 4.2.2, “Microsoft Reserved Partition” on
page 88).
