Boot from VHD with windows7 - bcdedit trouble
- by Michiel Overeem
I'm running Windows7 Enterprise, x64 version. I've created a windows7 vhd file with help of the following blog post hanselman blog
After that, I've added it to my boot menu with help of another blog post hanselman blog
This worked great.
After that, i've upgraded my hdd. With help of clonezilla i've copied the old disk to the new disk. Next step was to copy the vhd to another partition.
Then i updated the boot menu. However, the step
C:\>bcdedit /set {guid} device vhd=[driveletter:]\<directory>\<vhd filename>
fails with the message
An error has occurred setting the element data.
The request is not supported.
what is happening?
