Recover overwritten efi partition

I tried to install a second Arch in a new partition, but when I reached the efibootmgr part I realized I was overwriting my original Arch efi setup (yes, big facepalm for me). I tried to chroot into it with the Arch cd and reinstall refind and efibootmgr, with no use: now it shows an error "dependency failed for /boot/efi" "dependency failed for Local File Systems". I there any way I could recover it?

Re: Recover overwritten efi partition

Reinstalling refind and efibootmgr does not change your EfiSystemPartition, only the packages on your root file system. Please post some information about your ESP and your boot entries. You can always rename refind to the default bootx64 entry to start refind without the efibootmgr entry.
