Create and Mount VHD`s with Windows7

[dmex]

I believe I found something quite interesting built into Windows 7



Right-click Disk Management while vieweing Computer Management to create and mount VHDs

I don't think this feature is working, because I went to "Create VHD" and put it on the MBR, and put in my Windows 2008 disk - didn't see anything. Came back, and it was gone

Thank you Steven. This has inspired me to create a tutorial on this.

That is a good question: can one run an OS from a VHD in this way?

















Later :shock: Ted

Try it Ted and tell us if it works or not.

Eventually Yes, This will become the builtin VirutalPC software that allows windows7 to boot and manager separate VHDs...However I believe its unfinished so that functionality is disabled until its ready

Looks like you can boot VHDs using Windows 7 PDC 6801 :shock:
