Hello,
I've tried to create a virtual hard disk with two partitions, but I'm
having problems with booting from such a virtual hard drive.
First test - I tried to have two primary partitions in my virtual hard
disk. I formatted both partitions and I marked the first of them as
active and put Windows XP Embedded on it. On the second primary
partition I put a few applications. When I tried to boot from the
virtual hard drive, the Virtual PC just hangs. No error message is
printed.
Second test - I tried to have one primary partition and one extended
partition with a single logical drive on it. I formatted both
partitions and marked the primary partition as active. I put Windows
XP Embedded on the primary partition. On the second partition I put
the applications. When I tried to boot from the virtual hard drive,
the Virtual PC hangs in the same manner as in test 1. No error message
is printed.
My question is whether Virtual PC supports booting from a virtual hard
drive, that has more than a single partition?
