The EFI partition is a required partition used by the UEFI parti= tion schemes.

GuixSD does not require anything special compared to other distributions. I recommend you have a look at

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 https://wiki.archlinux.= org/index.php/Partitioning

for general guidelines.=C2=A0 Then you choose how to partition your drives = as you
wish.=C2=A0 Using the UEFI partition scheme, you can have two partitions:
- EFI
- root

You are free to add as many partitions as you want.
"Free space" is wasted space, make sure that your partition schem= e covers the
whole drive.

the reason why I was c= onfused by the partitions I saw is because I was using the wrong image=C2= =A0
This one

The right i= mage is this one

With the ri= ght image , I only saw a large blob of free space
