| 783558 | 2009-06-19 06:09:00 | Did you have a virtual PC? Windows 7 can mount and read VHD files as a hard drive. | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 783560 | 2009-06-19 07:20:00 | I'm just trying this myself... In Win7 Click the Start button In the run section type in diskmgmt.msc This open the Disk Management Tool. Click Action / Attach VHD Navigate to the VHD file. Make sure read only option is checked just in case ;) Click OK. Win7 should then mount it as a 'hard drive' thats visible from My Computer. To unmount: Right click the disk number that corresponds to the drive in the Disk Management Tool. e.g Disk 2 Click Detach. DO NOT click delete if you still want it. :xmouth: |
