Ok after dealing with boot issues I finally got my system up and running again only to run into new problems. I am running a triple boot Win7, Win7, Win7 setup that I named OS1, OS2, and OS3. I just reinstalled OS Selector and with a custom setup and chose a partition I setup just for the bootwiz for installation location. After installing the OS selector I noticed the bootwiz folder is not in the partition I chose, rather there are two bootwiz folders. One in OS2 and one in OS3. Second problem I am having is that when I get to the OS Selector splashscreen where you chose your operating system to boot to, I am seeing duplicates of OS1, OS2, and OS3. Not shortcuts but duplicates, such as OS1, OS1(2). How do I remove the duplicates, and how do I get the bootwiz folder to install to where I wanted it to? The partition I chose was a 1GB partition, if that matters?

The installation BOOTWIZ folder is a hidden/system type folder. You can't see it unless you enable viewing of hidden and system folders in Windows. I suspect it's there. The other BOOTWIZ folders that OSS "tags" drives with are regular visable folders and usually contain very little.

Duplicates can be hard to get rid of sometimes. If they insist on returning after you delete them, you could try deleting the originals instead and see if that works. You could also just hide the duplicates so they don't clutter up the menu (this won't work if OSS continues to find and add duplicates).

Was the triple boot system setup to boot each partition independently or did they each boot from the same partition (like a standard Microsoft mutli-boot setup)?

OSS normally needs very little space for files. 1GB is plenty.
