Removing System Reserved to use GRUB2

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2263 / 3 Years ago, thu, november 4, 2021, 12:26:26

Today I was reading a lot about the boot process. I have win7 ubuntu multiboot, grub2 is the loader. My question is:
Is it safe to delete System Reserved (BOOTMGR in it), as I use GRUB2?
I mean:
Does the GRUB2 loads win7 itself,
or does it load the BOOTMGR which then loads win7?

The user who asked the question Dual Boot Issue, Windows 7 64 bit Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit confirmed (further down in the comments section) that Grub2 can load Win7 even after the System Reserved partition is deleted.

But perhaps you can first make a backup of the partition, format it and make sure it works for you as well before deleting the partition.
