Solved Reinstall EFI Partition

[Jannis6780]

Hey,
I have a problem with my Surface Pro 3.
I installed Linux and use dual boot with rEFInd Boot manager. Now I deleted the linux partition and deleted the rEFInd directory from the EFI partition.

The problem is, that the rEFInd Boot manager is still there and I am not able to boot from USB to reinstall my Windows 8.1.

Is there a way to repartition the EFI partition or reinstall UEFI ?

Thanks, Jannis L.

It would seem like you need a Recovery USB to do this. There is an option to remove everything and reinstall and an additional checkbox/option to recreate partitions. It's possible that if everything is loaded in memory it could do this from the onboard Recovery partition but Repartitioning underneath yourself has obvious risks.

if you don't have a Recovery USB already you can download the image from Microsoft.

Thanks man. It works with the Recovery USB. Now my surface is on normal state
