Windows 7 – Booting from a .VHD file

02 Feb 2010 @ 3:10 PM

If you want to boot from a Windows 7 (Windows Server 2008 R2) installed on a new .VHD do the following steps:

A.- Creating the .VHD file and Windows 7 installation on that .VHD file

Boot the machine using the Windows 7 DVD
Choose Windows Repair
Start CMD
Run Diskpart
Type: Create vdisk file=c:\Windows7Build7000.vhd maximum=40000
Type: select vdisk file=c:\Windows7Build7000.vhd
Type: attach vdisk (in previous Betas, it was ‘surface’ instead of ‘attach’)
Type: ‘exit’ (you exit Windows Repair, but Do Not Reboot)
Install Windows 7 to this attached .VHD (From Win7 installation, you now have to ‘see’ another Hard Drive, you’ll need to create a partition & format it, first. You might get an error/warning saying that your computer hardware might not support this disk, just ignore it..).
Reboot, and you ready to go!
