I have, using Microsoft Virtual Pc, and its quite easy to do.

If you intend using it for Networking? be careful. W7 has a networking program called WorkGroup, but it will only work if your Networking W7 OS'es. It takes a lot of hard work to get back to the start if you do try it, indeed I eventually had to creat a new Virtual Machine and Virtual Hard Drive, and start again, but thats the fun of beta testing!!!!!!!

Nother good tip is use Windows 7 Forums, already has lots of tutorials.

Best wishes, Algypalgy.

Oh I have used VHD's before in Virtual PC and also Vmware apps. just not VHD's in Windows 7

I think you mean Homegroup in Windows 7, I wouldnt create a VHD of Windows 7 i'd use another OS.

yes I read the forums, Was trying to bring a little Windows 7 love to the Novatech forums. :-)
