Abstract
An information handling system includes a first memory and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The first memory includes an extended system partition (ESP). The BIOS creates a table that includes data associated with a first amount of memory space in the ESP needed for BIOS firmware images. The BIOS stores in the table in a second memory of the BIOS. During an initialization of an operating system (OS), a processor retrieves the data from the table. The processor determines a second amount of memory space in the ESP needed for OS boot critical files, and determines a total amount of memory space needed in the ESP based on the first and second amounts of memory space. The processor allocates the total amount of memory space to the ESP in the first memory.
