I ask this question in superuser but no one can answer my question, I hope any one can help me:

I bought a VAIO laptop which Windows 8 preinstalled on it in UEFI mode. Now I want to install Debian 7 besides Windows 8 but when I entered to the Partition Setup of debian setup menu, there is a partition which named EFI partition system.

My question is do I have to create another partition for debian to boot in UEFI? or EFI partition system which belongs Windows8 is enough?

And if I have to create another EFI boot partition for Debian 7, What name should I choose for it? And do I have to delete EFI partition system?
