Bug Description
If the EFI partition has the `hidden` flag set (which happened to me with recent Win10 on a Lenovo X1), boot-repair fails with the message "Please create a ESP partition (FAT32, 100MB-250MB, start of the disk, boot flag). This can be performend ... Then try again".
This is somewhat misleading, since said partition is already there, and also appears in gparted.

Thanks Wolfgang for the report.
Solved in 4ppa135 (added an suggestion to remove the hidden flag via Gparted).
