Create a UEFI partition

You can add the built-in Create UEFI Partitions pre-installation task, which uses a DiskPart script, to create a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) hard drive partition on Windows 7 x64 SP1 or higher x64 UEFI-enabled devices.

The NTFS format does not work on UEFI-enabled devices. UEFI-enabled devices use the GUID Partition Table (GPT), which uses a global unique identifier for devices that is different from the commonly used Master Boot Record partitioning style in the BIOS.

1.	On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click Pre-installation Tasks to display the Pre-installation Tasks page.

2.	Select Create UEFI Partitions from the list to display the Pre-installation Task Detail page.

3.	Optional: In Name, change the name to identify the task.

4.	In DISKPART Script, verify that the command-line options match the ones you want to use.

The KACE Boot Environment (KBE) automatically identifies the hidden EFI partition while capturing the UEFI image, and assigns the drive letter S during the capture.

For more information on DiskPart commands, see Common DiskPart command-line options.

5.	Click Save.

The task is now available to assign to scripted installations, sysprepped system images, and non-sysprepped system image deployments.

Use the Apply UEFI Partition mid-level task to apply the partition.
