Build an undead system-use vhd to install win7 to a file and a parent/child System

1. Installation Requirements:

1. It must be win7 flagship edition, Enterprise Edition, or windows2008 R2. Other versions cannot start the vhd system.

2. Download imagex.exe, A. Wim decompression tool.

Easybcd is a very powerful startup Item setting tool. It can also be used to set windows, Linux, and Mac OS co-existent startup, as well as boot from the ISO disc image, vhd virtual disk.

Jujumao vhd maintenance tool that can operate vhd files.

 

2. vhd system installation:

1. Create a vhd Virtual Disk file on the Computer Management page, such as Father. vhd.

2. Add vhd: map the vhd file to the disk, for example, disk X.

3. Use the virtual optical drive to open the win7 ISO Installation File and copy I: \ sources \ install. Wim to the G: disk,

4.use imagex.exe to write Wim content to a vhd Disk

 

Imagex/apply g: \ install. wim 4 x:

 

4. copy from the fourth image. We can see that the fourth image is the flagship image. The flagship version is required to support vhd startup.

5. set to start from the vhd Virtual Disk File on easybcd and select the vhd file. Of course, you can also use the command line settings provided by windows, but it is complicated.

After restarting, you can go to the Windows Installation page to complete the installation.

 

3. Create a parent-child vhd

Use jujumao vhd to create a sub-vhd file child. vhd from the created vhd file, and then use easybcd to add the sub-system.

 

When a subsystem encounters a problem, you only need to delete child. vhd and inherit a new branch from the parent system.

If you have created a parent-child vhd system, try to start from the sub-system. It is best not to start from the parent system to keep the father. vhd file unchanged. Otherwise, hard disk detection is performed when the subsystem starts.

 

Physical System: remains unchanged and hidden in the vhd System

Vhd parent system: Father. vhd, usually unchanged

Vhd sub-system: the child. vhd sub-system changes will only be incrementally written to the child. vhd file, without affecting the father. vhd of the parent system.

 

4. Significance of installing the operating system to a vhd File

When a problem occurs in the vhd system, you only need to replace the file to reinstall the system. If you make good use of the vhd Parent and Child systems, it is more flexible and plays a role in Incremental backup.

In addition, you can set the drive letter of the vhd system to C: in this way, the physical system is hidden to make the true drive C invisible, and files in the physical system will not be deleted due to misoperations.

Virtual machines can also directly call vhd files. The conversion of various virtual machine files can be completed using virtualbox, and there are other solutions.

The vhd system utilizes physical hardware to provide similar or equivalent performance to physical machines, which is far higher than the performance of virtual machines.

Implementing interaction between virtual machines-physical machines-file systems is also a convenient solution provided by Microsoft virtualization to common users.

 

 

5. After windows is reinstalled, recover the Linux

In fact, installing the system to a file is more widely used in Linux, such as VEketLinux (you can go to the skyarena to learn more) incremental installation, and wubi installation of Linux is also installed in the file. This part has nothing to do with the above.

For Linux installed in wubi, first back up wubildr and wubildr. mbr of c.

Although boot. ini Win7 and Vista have changed the startup mode, they will also read this file.

[Boot loader]

Timeout = 30

[Operating systems]

C: \ wubildr. mbr = "Ubuntu"

 

After installing Windows 7, you can reply to these three files to guide the Linux installed in wubi.
