In this post we will discuss the GRUB2 (GRand Unified Boot-loader) in Linux. Recently i surfing the Linux base concepts then i came to know about grub2.

Here i ll share what is boot loader?, how grub2 boot loader is works? And how we can customize? And how we apply the themes?What is the Boot LoaderBoot loader is small code reside in to load the kernel(core) of the operating system and give the control to OS. When PC is switched on the system controls goes to BIOS.

Bios initialize the peripherals and check the booting order of the device then select the highest priority of the device execute the code stored in MBR of that device. Each Operating System shipped with boot loaderFor Example:-Microsoft Windows up to Windows XP comes with boot loaderFrom Windows Vista onward they use as a boot loader.These boot loaders are specifically designed to load Windows OS. If want use these boot loader to boot other OS (Linux, Mac OS X) then we need to tweak using 3rd party tools likeFor Linux Operating System uses many different boot loaders as distro choice like,Here we talk about GRUB2 boot loader.What is Master Boot Record (MBR)?Master Boot Record (MBR) is one block with 512 bytes. Its located in first sector of HDD, CD, other device. Its holds the partition entries and boot code.Following MBR block, the actual partition are begin.

This is helps if disconnect the HDD and connected to other machine, that machine understands ur partitions and file systems.HDD Layout and MBRWe know Total size of MBR is 512 bytes. In this 446 bytes for Boot code (Boot loader code) and 4 Partition entry, each 16 bytes long (64 bytes) and 2 bytes MBR signature.Here this is limitation that one hdd is maximum 4 primary partition or 3 primary partition and 1 logical partition. The reason is MBR can store maximum 4 entry in partition table.If we use logical partition, its not actually partition its another partition entry tables.

Its called extended partition table, it contain many entries to logical volumes. (see the above diagram)Here each volume (or) partition has separate boot sector its called apart from MBR. Its used for chain-loader of boot loader. The reason is grub boot loader can boot all Linux and some Unix also (freeBSD, netBSD, openBSD).

GRUB Boot loader - Windows Boot loader - Load Windows KernelHere one limitation for some boot loaders like Windows boot-loader. They can't boot the OS, if OS is installed in logical partition. that's why windows OS we must install in primary partition. Because that boot code can't capable to access the logical volume.The reason is if OS is installed primary partition then boot loaders easily can find the partition, because MBR contain primary partition entry.But when u installed in logical partition then that partition entry is residing extended partition table.
