Dear All:
It's said that Windows server 2008 support booting from a VHD file. But I
did not quite understand what it means. Anyone could help me? Thanks in
advance.
Below is what I tested. I am not sure if I did correctly.
1) Install Windows Server 2008 R2
2) Create a VHD file use Windows Server Backup, and copy the VHD file to
c:\temp.vhd
3) Add a boot option in boot menu through bcdedit.exe, like:
bcdedit.exe /copy {current} /d "temp"
bcdedit.exe /set <uuid> device vhd=[c:]\temp.vhd
bcdedit.exe /set <uuid> osdevice vhd=[c:]\temp.vhd
4) Reboot OS and select boot from "temp"
Unfortuately, an exception happened while starting Windows. Anyone could
tell me what's wrong with my test.
Thanks
