Deleting the Information about Removed Hard disk
If you plug in an additional hard disk to a computer where Acronis OS
Selector is installed, Acronis OS Selector will register it and will attempt to
find operating systems on it. If you decide to remove this hard disk, the
information about it will remain in Acronis OS Selector configuration files should
you wish to plug in this hard disk again. If you are not going to plug in this hard
disk to your computer again, you can completely delete the information about it
from Acronis OS Selector. Setup requires a confirmation before doing so.

Be careful if you have operating systems that are partially installed on one hard disk
and partially on the other. If you remove one of these disks you will be unable to
boot such an operating system. Acronis OS Selector will of course allow this
operation, but might be unable to properly delete information about it.
