In the past with Windows 7, I could use the built in "wbadmin start backup" to create a VHD copy of a machine, for re-use as a direct boot or in hyper-v.
(wbadmin would normally create two VHDx if a reserve partition and an OS partition existed.)
No probs, this worked. even if no reserved partition existed by using "bootrec v:\windows /s V:" when the VHD was mounted in windows.
Come windows 8.1, it now creates a GPT VHDX.
When used in hyper-v this does not boot.
=> Does EASIBCD support GPT boot ?
=> Can easibcd help here ? (e.g. write boot partition BCD deployement)
(if referencing a onedrive picture works this will be visible, it shows the VHDX which has been mounted with twp patitions, a 128M one and a 60G one - C: drive)
I tried to boot the vhdx directly adding a EasiBCD entry and it has been sitting at the splash screen the last hour.
Thanks !!
