    Does anyone know if it is possible to load VHD's ?
    I tried google and the documentation but i can't seem to find any info.

    Thank

    Not currently, at least AFAIK. It would be possible if a loopback driver existed to make files look like disk devices, but AFAIK no such driver exists. I've considered creating such a driver myself but I've not yet gotten around to writing it.

    Hello,
    have you get some time to develope loopback and so vhd loader, it is very useful for us, as there's no opensource solution at this time.
    regards,
    Nicolas

    I have managed to do this using the vboot2 grub loader (opensource but not maintained) and a rather complicated process to load Ubuntu 16.04LTS using ntfs-3g and vbox fuse vhd drivers from a VHD on Windows 10 OS install. If your interested let me know what your up to and I may be able to guide you. It is far from easy though!
