Hi.
geohei@deimos:~$ sudo gdisk /dev/sdb
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.8
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 500118192 sectors, 238.5 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 7B2A6511-D248-41E6-BB41-8F15451740AA
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 500118158
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 38072941 sectors (18.2 GiB)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name

7 420104192 462047231 20.0 GiB 8200 Linux swap
I have a dual boot system installed on my SSD (GPT).
1. Windows 7
2. Ubuntu 14.04
I'd like to use a separate EFI partition for Ubuntu (for separate backup/restore operations and potential mutual interfeneces duer Windows 7 / Ubuntu EFI updates).
How can I instruct Ubuntu 14.04 during installation procedure to use sdb5 as EFI instead of sdb1?
Thanks!
