Boot from VHD in Win7

    Boot from VHD in Win7

    Windows 7 has a new feature that makes it easier than ever to set up multi-boot scenarios on a single machine.
    Boot from VHD allows you to mount a vhd as a bootable drive and, as the name implies, boot from it. It's a great scenario for creating multiple OS installations without having to create multiple OS partitions on your hard drive.
