Good afternoon evrybody,

I finally decided to put my copy of Disk Director 11 to good use by trying to install a seceond operating system on the same harddrive.
First of all.... the manual could be better because it took me the better part of today to figure out how to proceed without messing up the existing OS (which it did...)

Secondly, I am staring at a glaring problem.
Eveytime I restart my computer, the OS selector adds an operating system. E V E R Y T I M E... so after rebooting for the umpied time after a driverupdate I was staring at a main window of OS selector with 28 OS's visible. Quite anoying to be honest. My both OS's are Windows based (Win 7 64b Ultimate and Win 7 64b Professional).
Is there a solution for this problem? Or is it something I am doing wrong?
Hiding the surplus OS is not a 'solution' 'cause everytime I start my PC, there's a new one.

Thanks for any suggestions

This problem as existed in OSS for many years, though, from what I've seen, it generally affected Linux more than Windows. Besides checking the BCD file for anything "odd" that may trigger the problem I don't really have anything to suggest. In some cases, you can just hide the OS in the menu and OSS will let it be, but you've tried this already and it didn't work.

Is OSS adding just one Windows or both every restart?

Did you install the second Windows isolated from the first (independent booting) or did you install it to use the Microsoft Boot Manager?
