   If GRUB is installed on the MBR. If it is installed on partition, then no.   
      
   But in his case it is installed in both, so the safe course is having   
   the so called bios boot partition.   
      
      
   Oh, I have said it many times, the so called bios boot partition is not   
   the same, not related, to having an ESP partition or a /boot partition.   
   The three are different. Only the later is not needed except on special   
   cases.
