Hi,
I had a dual boot on two separate SSDs. I often had trouble switching between Windows 7 and Sierra. I recently re-installed my Windows 7 but may have inadvertently deleted the EFI partition on my Sierra SSD. I can boot using my USB key but I go into a boot loop when I try to use the USB's EFI to boot from my SSD. I don't know how to capture the verbose logging on startup so that would be helpful to know. Can someone provide instructions on how to do this? Anyone have any idea how to determine if I did delete my EFI? Is there a way to recover deleted files? What is the file format of the EFI because I likely formatted it NTFS.
Thanks a bunch,
