Hello Cyborgee, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Where do you have the VHD file save at?
Was this VHD created using the method in the tutorial or another program?
UPDATE:
It seems to be either a new feature or bug in the final RTM build. Any attached VHD (newly created or existing) will no longer be attached after a restart. It seems to only be a temporary feature per active session now. I have added a warning at the top of the tutorial.Last edited by Brink; 21 Oct 2009 at 17:38.

Thanks Brink
well , i made the VHD by using the same method in the tutorial. and i save it on drive C , system partition.
I went through many blogs about creating VHD. and i have found that most of them has the same issue. but i found that one of them mentioned that in order to have a bootable VHD then you have to create it by using setup CD (repair command) , and using certain commands to create it. after that install the operating system directly without rebooting.
i will try this to install windows 2008 R2 which has the same tools as windows 7, and i will inform you about it.
But it is important to have a VHD that starts while windows 7 booting without installing an operating system.

Cyborgee,
Oh, well if you wanted to be able to boot from a VHD with a OS on it like normal, then this will help show you how to.

NOOB question
My boss got me a new Windows 7 box and wants me to create Virtual Machines running either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2005. I have used MS Virtual Server 2005 in the past, but with Windows 7, I can't install the applicatioin, I get a "hard block" or whatever the terminology is.
Anyways, I followed the awesome tutorial above, and have created a VHD on my box, but was wondering how I would go about installing another OS to it, is that even possible with the available functionality? I have done my best to research this topic, but plead ignorance because I can't find any tutorials in regards to installing a "non windows 7 OS" as a virtual machine on a windows 7 machine....
And yes, as I was typing all this, I stumbled upon my answer...

Hello Chulojay, and welcome to Seven Forums.
If this VHD is of a Windows 7 system image backup, then this might help instead to attach it.

Hope this helps,

I followed the steps(I think) but the VHD created does not have anything in it. Is this what is supposed to be?

Hello Churin,
If you created a new VHD, then yes it would be empty. It's just like creating a new partition or volume. :)
