Boot from VHD

[aaronpriest]

Did you get .vhd to work off exFat? I was using .vhdx and had to put it on an NTFS partition. Glad you got it working!

Make it simple, don't use Hyper-V, because it creates additional file apart from VHDX.
Use Virtual Box and VHD only.

Tried on exFAT, didn't work. Worked only on NTFS...

HyperV works fine, you don't need to copy anything but the .vhdx for G2FM and you can ignore the config file. VirtualBox crashes all the time on me and HyperV has far superior performance, so I rarely use VirtualBox for anything strenuous like installing an OS. I'd prefer to use VMWare because that has the best performance of all three, but it doesn't boot from a .vhdx directly without converting back and forth and not worth the effort.
