I tried to follow the instructions to create a dual boot system on a machine that already has Win7 on. I failed and so wanted to revert to my previous single boot system but
1) I cannot deactivate OS Selector (v11.0 build 3,024)
2) OS Selector says "cannot find an operating system" even thoiugh it shows a Win 7 icon that can be selected to boot from.
3) Initially, if I try to reboot, I get a message BootMGR is missing (MBR error 3). Use Crl/Alt/Del
4) If I do this it goes round in a circle unless I choose F10 and then select a different disc to the default and I can then boot back to the OS Selector and into Win7.
I want to get back to my single boot system. How do I do it, simply?

I have another problem.
During my unsuccessful attempt to create a dual boot system on a second disk, that disk lost its letter (D:). If I attempt to give it a letter the options available start with E:. This is also seen in Windows Management. How do I get it back to being called D:
I created a backup before doing this so will a re-installation of the backup onto Disk2 reinstall its letter (D:)?

Could I just uninstall Disk Director to remove OS Selector?
Thanks

You can try to uninstall Disk Director, but no guarrantee OSS will be gone as OSS doesn't play particularly well with win-7. Didn't you check this before ?

You can find a utility here to get rid of Disk Director and OSS. It's somewhere on this board and you will have to do some searching.

If you manage to uninstall you can use your win-7 setup disk to fix the win-7 boot (MBR) as OSS seems now to have corrupted it.

Goodluck...
