HI everyone. I'm trying to dual boot my notebook which is running 8.1 Pro with a VHD of Win10 TP. The fact that I'm trying to dual boot with Windows 10 seems likely to be irrelevant though. I created the VHD inside of disk manager in the gui, booted to the Win10 setup disc, hit Shift F10 to get to cmd and have had multiple diskpart failures related to Access Denied. It seems to be a permissions error of some sort though. All that aside, if I mere trying to browse into a folder, after a long wait I get an Access Denied error. I have tried a few things but can't seem to get around this. Help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

no, you are both incorrect, you can create a VHD, then mount it as a bootable drive in windows and then on next boot you can select that drive to boot from, I'm just not sure if the OP has correctly mounted or created the drive, as you are technically meant to have it fully set up and configured before adding it to the boot list, that way the boot sector is already created and ready to boot from.

At all true, because that's why you need Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise as your hyper visor. And the errors you see are the result. The owner of the folders seems to be the system or user account of the host os.
