    To boot from a native VHD file, you first create a VHD in Disk Management and attach it to initialize the disk. Then apply a Windows 2008 image to the formatted VHD using ImageX. Add boot menu entries using Bcdedit commands, copying the current boot entry and setting the device and OS device paths to the VHD. This will prompt selection of Windows 7 or 2008 on restart.
