ATI creates more than 20 UEFI BIOS Entried

Thread needs solution

Does anyone know why the clone function of ATI 2020 creates more than twenty UEFI BIOS Boot options for Windows Boot Manager? I simple cloned a data disk to a larger disk, neither disk was bootable. 

I suspect it is because the source disk contained Windows backups, using the W7 backup tool. But why and how do I get rid of them?

The boot disk didn't boot either but I managed to fix that, though it shouldn't have happened.

Richard, I have not come across any other posts in the forums describing the issue you have raised here for UEFI BIOS boot entries.

I very rarely use cloning when migrating disk drives - instead I always use Backup & Recovery where I can remove the original drive and set it safely aside before restoring to a new one.

Cloning will try to establish bootability for drives but again, I have never heard of it doing what is described, but perhaps I have lived too sheltered a life in this respect!

Assuming that these are truly BIOS boot entries, then I can only suggest having to manually remove the unwanted ones.  If they were Windows BCD entries, then there are various tools / applications that can be used to manage these via a graphical interface.
