You don't, yet. You need to tell us what instructions you are following, and what problem you are trying to solve, eg why you are trying to install grub, why you needed to create an EFI partition and so on. You also need to post the output of inxi -Fxz from a terminal and enclose it in code tags [code]output.here[/code]. You'll see the code tags icon </> when you reply.
