Hi,

I have a Win7 (Build 7000) installation and would like to use the VHD-Boot
feature to boot into a Windows Vista (x64) installation. I have therefore
prepared a Windows Vista VHD with my HyperV Server and generalised it.

I used the following commands to add the VHD to my Boot menu:

bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Test"
bcdedit /set {ID from the copy} device vhd=[c:]\vmfs\vista\disk01.vhd
bcdedit /set {ID from the copy} osdevice vhd=[c:]\vmfs\vista\disk01.vhd
bcdedit /set {ID from the copy} detecthal on

After rebooting and selecting the new entry I just get a error message
(after the attempt to repair something) from Windows 7 (!).

I have also tried to create a vista vhd using the win7 waik und imagex -
same result :-(

Any advice how I can get this running?

Thanks
Johannes
