Windows 10: I just accidentally formatted my EFI-SYSTEM partition. I have not yet shut down my PC.

How can I get the data back in there before I shut PC down? Is there a file location from which I can simply copy the data back into the partition?

Formating Efi system partition as FAT32

During an install you can remove all the critical partitions, of which the EFI System partition is one. You do not have to pre-format a drive during an install. Just remove the Critical partitions ( MSR, EFI, Recovery and OS)and leave unallocated space.
The install will take care of the rest.

You can delete the partition and use the Diskpart create partition EFI command with qualifiers, if necessary. If you have already created the partition, try using Diskpart from a command prompt (Shift+F10 during the install) and format.

If you need to convert a drive from MBR to GPT or vice versa, you need to remove ALL partitions.

 

Formating Efi system partition as FAT32

Hello,

I reinstalled Windows 10 on my laptop and it had a loop at the setup configuration after the install. I booted from dvd again, and I've started another installation by formatting the partitionwith the new installed windows. And now, when I click next to
choos where to install windows i get an error :Windows detected that the EFI system partition was formatted as NTFS. Format the EFI system partition as FAT32, and restart the installation.

How can I do that?, because i have not windows installed (i have formatted it).
