Is it possile to convert a virtual machine for use with the Hyper-V in a virtual machine bootable from a VHD in Windows 7 ? I am asking this question because I hope to keep thing simple on my notebook (OS: Windows 7), which I am using to test VM. If you have a better idea for a test enviroment on a PC (without the need to install Windows Server 2008 + Hyper-V) please let me know. Thank you.joPol

It's definitely worth a shot to boot the VHD in a virtual machine and see what happens, most of the time it works, occasionally it fails. Windows 7 doesn't have Hyper-V built in, so you could use something like VirtualBox, but I recently upgraded to Windows 8, which has Hyper-V, and I use it for my VMs now. -- Mike Burr Mike's Technology and Finance Blog Learn to Troubleshoot Windows BSODs
