Problem
I have used VirtualBox to create a VM, and installed the latest Windows 8 Consumer Preview on it. I have a .VHD file with the OS installed. I am wondering, since Windows 7 supports boot from a VHD file, whether it is possible to simply create a new boot option using thid VHD file and boot of it.
