joakim Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 It is not supported and will not be possible to nativeboot in vhd with xp unless you come up with a brilliant patch for numerous xp binaries (also including the kernel). Joakim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesurfer Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I think XP doesn't have drivers to recognize VHD hard drive at boot. It can after it has booted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Booting an entire OS inside a VHD from a parent OS requires the OS inside the VHD to also have a bootloader which is capable of doing the boot translation when inside of a VHD, which is currently something only 2008 R2 and Win7 can do natively, and something that can be done *ON* Server 2008 and Vista by replacing it's bootloader with one from Win7 (meaning Server 2008 or Vista can host an OS booting from VHD, but cannot actually boot from VHD themselves). Neither Server 2008/Vista nor XP/2003 can actually be an OS booting from within a VHD due to these OSes lacking any support for a VHD bootloader, and as such you cannot boot Server 2008/Vista or older from within a VHD.
