What's new in virtual hard disks?
In Windows® 7, a virtual hard disk can be used as the running operating system on designated hardware without any other parent operating system, virtual machine, or hypervisor. You can use the Windows 7 disk management tools (the DiskPart command-line tool and the Disk Management snap-in) to create a .vhd file. You can deploy a Windows 7 image (in .wim format) to the virtual hard disk, and you can copy the .vhd file to multiple systems. You can configure the Windows 7 boot manager for a native or physical boot of the Windows image that is contained in the virtual hard disk. Furthermore, you can connect the .vhd file to a virtual machine for use with the Hyper-V role in Windows Server® 2008 R2. Native-boot .vhd files are not designed or intended to replace full image deployment on all client or server systems. Previous versions of Windows do not support a native boot from a virtual hard disk and require a hypervisor and virtual machine in order to boot from a .vhd file.
For instructions, see Walkthrough: Deploy a Virtual Hard Disk for Native Boot and Add a Native-Boot Virtual Hard Disk to the Boot Menu.
