Welcome to the windows 7 forums.

Are you creating the VHD from windows virtual PC or some other virtual program?

Also, what version of windows did you try to install on the vhd?

I have had problems with some dvd's having a small area with dirt or some crud on it and after washing the dvd and drying it with a clean t-shirt, it then worked fine.

Thanks for your reply.
I am on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.
I used ImageX for the VHD.

And the image was of?

Also, are you using the latest version of imagex?

You might take a look at this article

regarding deployment of imagex vhd's. You have used sysprep also?
