BIOS 和 UEFI

统一可扩展固件接口（UEFI）

UEFI 与 Window 8 共同引进，用于替换/改进 BIOS 系统。这次改进的一大突破是，它允许计算机使用大于 2 TB（2000 GB）的硬盘。可惜的是，UEFI 也被微软和某些硬件制造商暗自操控，以阻止（或至少是使其变得难以操作）用其他系统更换或双启动 Windows 8 系统。

Basic Input / Output System (BIOS)

The GRUB is used to manage and boot up linux operating systems on computers that use the BIOS system. These are typically older computers or those that did not come with Windows 8 pre-installed. It is worthwhile noting that the UEFI can be disabled on many systems to run using the BIOS instead; this is known as running in Legacy Mode. Computers sold prior to the release and pre-installation of Windows 8 - which introduced UEFI - will therefore use the BIOS.
