    Windows Server 2003 bootable VHD


    Is it possible to boot Windows Server 2003 from this VHD using Windows 7 VHD native support? If not, is it possible to create a bootable Windows Server 2003 VHD that dual boots with Windows 7?

    The only operating systems that support boot from native VHD are Windows 7 Enterprise/Ultimate and Windows Server 2008 R2.

    You can install 2003 server on the physical disk, and then install the windows 7 boot loader and boot 7 from a native VHD.
