"舊酒新瓶"之Windows 7+Win 08 雙系統@VHD Dual Boot with winPE

舊酒係指DUAL BOOT 雙系統,
大家有用過Virtual PC, Virtual Server都可能覺得VHD(虛擬硬碟)唔係咩新鮮野,
但今次嘅新瓶就係將在無任何虛擬主機host PC( no PC virtualization)嘅情況下, mount VHD做logical disk 直BOOT

即係在Physical 硬碟中,建立多過以file 封裝起的VHD虛擬硬碟,
利用新的winPE 功能(原來BOOT 安裝碟時, 按SHIFT+F12便可進入)

The Screencast Video – 23 minutes – Win7 and R2 Dual Boot via VHD

The Command Sequence Used in the Video

1. Boot your machine with a blank hard drive using the Windows 7 DVD.
2. Click next on the language screen if English is appropriate.
3. SHIFT+F10 to launch a WinPE command console. Although the commands below are in upper case, the commands are not case sensitive. I am only using upper case for readability here.
4. Enter DISKPART to run the utility.
5. LIST DISK to see the available disks in your system. I am assuming a single raw disk.
6. SEL DISK 0
7. CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
8. FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
9. LIST VOL
10. ASSIGN
11. LIST VOL
12. CREATE VDISK FILE=c:\windows7rc.vhd MAXIMUM=200000 TYPE=EXPANDABLE
13. SELECT VDISK FILE=c:\windows7rc.vhd
14. ATTACH VDISK
15. CRE PART PRI
16. FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
17. ASSIGN LETTER=V:
18. LIST VOL
19. LIST VDISK
20. exit DISPART
21. exit WinPE command console
22. Install to the newly created 200GB (fuzzy math) virtual hard disk which looks just like a partition to Windows Setup
23. Repeat steps 11-18 for the Windows Server 2008 R2 VHD but with the obvious changes for the vdisk filename, size, etc.
