Summary
The EFI System Partition (ESP) is a crucial element in systems utilizing UEFI firmware, essential for the boot process of operating systems like Windows and macOS. Typically formatted with FAT32 and sized between 100MB and 200MB, the ESP contains necessary files that the UEFI firmware uses to boot the OS and utilities. This partition is automatically created when a hard drive is formatted with the GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style. A properly functioning ESP ensures the system can boot and operate correctly.
