Please watch my video with annotations turned on. You have to shrink an existing windows partition to create space for creating an EFI partition. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfv9UYjrPhQ
In order for me to help you, Please share the output for the commands:
diskpart
list disk
sel disk 0
list vol
list partition
Take a picture of the output using your smartphone / camera and upload them on pasteboard.co and share the link.
For RAW guys:
Your C: is being shown as RAW. It should be shown as NTFS. Somehow you seem to have screwed up your partition file system. Type the command:
chkdsk /f /r C:
If you get the error stating “chkdsk not allowed for RAW…”, then do the following:

For fixed disks guys:
Check your connecting cables attached the HDD to the computer. Make sure they are not loose. When you start your computer, you need to press some key to enter “Setup” which are your BIOS settings. In that, there is an option to choose SATA mode. What is the value that you have set? Is it AHCI?
