How does GRUB/GRUB2 move the Windows bootloader?
I find it very interesting that GRUB knows where Windows bootloader resides, How does it moves the code to an other area of the hard disk?

Boot code is at a specific location on any hard disk so the scripts check the locations.

As I understand it when you install Linux it writes to the Master Boot Record, where the BIOS loads code from, and replaces Windows's record with a jump to wherever GRUB is installed. GRUB install searches for operating systems and adds them to a list so you can choose which to boot.
