To You Guys With ESP/EFI Mounting Problems, Try This Easy Fix,

It Has To Be Done On A Freshly Formatted Disk With GUID Partition

The Trick Is To Create A Fat32 As Second Partition On The disk

As The GUID Partition Is The First

Size Is User Choice, So I Do 500MB

 

Place Your EFI Folder On That Fat32 Partition,

You May Need To Point Your Boot Loader At That Partition As Well

It Will Boot As Normal And You Don't Need to Stuff Around The OLD Way.

 

If You Want To Change Your EFI Folder, It's Just A Matter Of

Opening The Fat32 Partition And Deleting The Old Folder

And Putting On It Your New EFI Folder.

 

Now If You  Want To Be Adventures....

You Can Make Several Of These Fat32 Partitions,

Each With It's Own EFI Folder

Works Best With USB

 

To Boot You Select With Your Boot Menu Key, Mine Is F11 And You Will

See All The Fat32 Partitions You Created, Boot The One You Want.

 

Hope This Helps A Lot Of People. ;)
