101-500 Exam - Question 114


Where is the bootloader stored on the hard disk of a UEFI system?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

In a UEFI system, the bootloader is stored on the EFI System Partition (ESP). UEFI, which stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, replaces the older BIOS system and uses the ESP to store boot loaders, kernel images, and other necessary files for starting up the operating system. The ESP is specifically designed for this purpose, making it the correct location for the bootloader in a UEFI setup.

Answer C. EFI system partition(ESP) is used by machines based on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface(UEFI) to store boot loaders and kernel images for O.Ss installed.

Answer is C. Normally, UEFI uses ESP. However, there are times when UEFI needs to be backwards compatible for BIOS / CHS.

The boot.img is located in MBR for both Legacy GRUB and GRUB2. Isn't that file the bootloader?

Is. For MBR (BIOS) computers. But UEFI does not use MBR, it uses ESP partition.
