    I know very well how to do clean install but I asked about normal installation of 8 and also 7 on vhd (not any virtual machine).

    Now I have 7 installed normally and 8 on vhd and during boot screen I have to choose what OS I want to run. I want the same situation with normal 8 and 7 on vhd.
