It will then move quickly onto the windows OS' boot loader screen.

Helloo.. thx for replying...
hmm... it's not about timeout option so that i can boot to default win OS...it's not about the default OS problem also, what i want is, is there any possible way to boot 2 of my Win7 directly from LILO, and without choosing twice via Windows Boot Manager ? |

The windows #2 is most likely missing some of the boot files since it is using the bootloader from windows #1. You may be able to copy the missing boot files from windows #1 and then run fixboot and/or bcdboot from windows #2

as i know win7 need to find bootmgr to boot the OS

It will put the bootmgr to the C: partition and you wont need the hidden partition to boot windows, and if you do the same to second windows then both will have bootmgr on their C: partition, and you can chainload both from lilo |
