The grub2s are still there. Understand XOSL cannot boot linuxes 
'natively', but chainloads into other bootloaders to boot them. So if it 
chainloads into a grub2 file which does not point into its own 
partition, it won't boot.

Yes, it is safe (for non-newbies, like you).

ps: suggest you create a grub rescue disk first. Makes very short work 
to boot up instead of using livecd.
