IrnBruKid Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi, I'm wondering how I could move my Windows 7 vhd to another location on my hard disk, then edit the boot menu to allow me to boot from it in its new location.My Laptop runs Windows Vista Home Premium x64 on the hard disk and on the root of the drive is a Win7.vhd file that contains my Win 7 build 7100 x64 install.Anyone have any ideas as to how I would go about editing the boot menu to point it to the Win7.vhd file in its new location?Many Thanks in advance,IrnBruKid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrnBruKid Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks very much, this will help me alot as I needed to move the vhd file off the root of my C drive to stop my Home Server backing up the vhd file.IrnBruKid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
