Line 1: {{Refimprove\|date=June 2014}} ~~[[GRUB]]'s~~The '''BIOS boot partition''' is a [[partition (computing)\|partition]] on a [[data storage device]] that ~~GRUB~~may ~~uses~~be onused by legacy [[BIOS]]-based systems in order to boot, when the actual boot device contains a [[GUID Partition Table]] (GPT). It must be utilized because there is not enough unused space available for the second stages of [[boot loader]]s on GPT disks. On MBR-partitioned disks, boot loaders are occupying unused [[disk sector\|sectors]] immediately following the [[Master Boot Record]] (MBR) for that purpose, while there is no equivalent for those on GPT disks.
