Hello peoples!
I'm trying to install a genuine Windows 8 Enterprise (my workplace has an MSDN subscription, so I managed to get hold of a Windows 8 iso). I'm trying to install it to a vhd, which I did before with Win8 CP.
In windows 7, i open disk management, add a new VHD and activate it (or whatever it's called, I can't remember!)
I then turn off the computer, and boot to my Win8 Enter DVD. I choose my language, and then Custom installation. For the installation driver, I SHIFT+F10 over to CMD, and type the following:
diskpart
select vdisk file C:\win8.vhd
attach vdisk
I then ALT+TAB back to the installation. I choose the VHD, and click continue/next/install
It then comes up with an error saying windows cannot be installed to a VHD, but I can still click continue/next/install and install windows. I managed to exit the installation quick enough to do any changes, because I wanted to ask this:
After the error I get, Will Win8 be installed to the VHD, or the local HDD?
Thank you in advanced
