Windows loader installed on different drive than window OS

[corrado33]

So in installed windows on a PC with lots of drives in it. According to linux, windows installed on /dev/sdf1. However, it appears windows installed it's boot loader onto /dev/sdb1 as whenever I updated grub that's where it said the "installation" was. It works fine, I can boot into windows with no problem from grub.

 

Now, I haven't formatted /dev/sdb yet, it's going to be a storage drive, will the loader being there cause me trouble when I do format it? How can I move the windows loader to it's own disk?
