EFI System Partition (ESP)

EFI System Partition (ESP)

Geeks - The EFI System Partition (ESP) is a partition on a computer's hard drive that is used to store the files necessary for a computer to boot up. These files include the bootloader, which is responsible for starting the operating system, as well as any device drivers or other files that are needed for the computer to boot and run properly. The ESP is typically a small partition, often around 100-200 MB in size, and is formatted with a file system called FAT32. It is typically located on the same hard drive as the operating system, but can also be located on a separate drive.
