[Solved] Reinstall EFI

Hello everyone, i recently removed the Arch HDD from my notebook which seems to reset bios entry when boot device is not found, im trying to create a new one following the efibootmgr guide in the wiki but when i run

efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --loader /EFI/refind/refind_x64.efi --label "rEFInd Boot Manager" --verbose

it says that EFI variables are not supported on my system, i also tried

modprobe efivars

before chrooting but nothing changed
Also i have "Add new boot option" in the UEFI but i don't know how to get "FSX:\" where X should be the efi partition number from what i read
