The native VHD support in Windows 7 was indeed a useful feature for many users. With the ability to create, mount, and even boot from VHD images directly within Windows 7, it provided a flexible way to work with virtual hard disk files. Here are some key points about the VHD support in Windows 7: - Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) Format: The VHD format is a virtual hard disk format used in Microsoft Virtual PC environments. - Creating and Mounting VHD Images: Windows 7 allowed users to create and mount VHD images directly from Disk Management. - Booting from VHD Images: While creating and mounting VHD images was straightforward, booting directly from a VHD image was a more advanced and less common task. Additionally, a tool mentioned in the post provided enhanced functionality related to VHD actions, such as mounting, unmounting, and booting from VHD images, directly from the context menu. This tool simplified the process by adding shortcuts to these actions for easier access. However, the specific tool and links mentioned in the post are no longer accessible due to invalid URLs.
