Bootloader error "/boot/efi doesn't look like an EFI partition"

It said me there’s an error with the bootloader.

I’m still on the USB live media. what should i do?
(i’m on uefi)

grub-install: error: /boot/efi doesn’t look like an EFI partition.

What partitioning method did you use?

Also network doesn’t seem to work.

My system was usually on Legacy, but it gave me the same error. the logs are when I tried with uefi, and if you want I’ll post the logs for legacy

It was an OFFLINE install, it gave me the same error ONLINE with KDE(my original idea, if possible I’d like to install Legacy, dual boot with ubuntu(for my sister) and with kde plasma)

No, I mean did you use “Erase Disk”, “Replace”, “Install Along side” or “Manual”

Replace a partition, and I replaced the partition I created before

Can we see the output of sudo parted -l

the first is USB install drive

That is a msdos partition table. You should do a legacy install

No logs to put here… It installed completely, the only thing I did was setting uefi to OFF, and deleting ventoy on my usb, and flashing the usb with rufus!
And now I’m A SUPER SUPER HAPPY ENDEAVOUR USER!! It booted in 2,2 seconds, and zorin booted in 45 seconds, and the kde desktop is VERY NICE
