It must be cleaned of VirtualOS configuration correctly before windows 7 can boot your VHD!! <img src="http://www.sevenforums.com/images/smilies/wink.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.sevenforums.com/images/tip.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> NOTE There are still many bugs associated with VHD booting with Windows 7 at this time, I suspect Microsoft will be releasing a new Version of VirtualPC that's able to manage this entire process of creating, installing and booting separate VHDs at boot-time easily and without so many problems <img src="http://www.sevenforums.com/images/smilies/wink.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.sevenforums.com/images/note.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> crtsy:7forums</blockquote>
