The users can either use a DVD or USB pen drive. As soon as the external device is connected to the main computer, ‘Install Now’ option pops up. It is recommended that you do not click on it and go to the command prompt mode by pressing shift-F10.
Once the command window crops up, you type the command Diskpart and click on Enter. The next step is to make a fresh VHD file. This is done by typing the following command.
Make vdisk file in path”D:\ToVhd.vhd” and then type expandable maximum and maxsizeInMegabyte
The next step involves adding a new VHD file to the physical disk in use, which can be done by keying in the command ‘attach vdisk’. Once this process has been completed, the user can exit from the command prompt, in order to proceed with installing of Windows 7 OS normally. After the installation is complete, reboot boot the system.
Once the system restarts, you’ll notice two Windows 7 copies in your system’s boot loader. Each of the instances has a specific description, and in order to change them, you could access the prompt command as an Administrator. In the prompt command, you’ll need to type bcdedit /v, which will instantly show the entries in the system’s boot manager. Go through each of the entries thoroughly enclosed in {}. In order to change the description, you can enter the following command: bcdedit /set {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} description “Windows 7 VHD” After doing so, you need to restart your computer. On restarting, you’ll see the description of all the boot entries.”
