Run VHD_W7C.exe and Extract to simple path
In Win 7/8 OS Set User Account Control Off and Reboot
VHD_W7_Compact.exe - Make Portable Win 7 in 2 GB VHD booting from USB or HDD
x64 version needs 3 GB VHD because of extra 1 GB SysWOW64 folder
Source is Windows 7 x86 or x64 fresh installed in 10-15 GB VHD Or Install on NTFS primary partition of internal harddisk.
Target Boot Drive can be FAT32 or NTFS USB-drive used only for Boot files so that there are no changes for booting of internal harrddisk .
Target System Drive must be NTFS and is the drive where the Win7 VHD file is created and this can be your internal harddisk drive.
Ultimate Windows 7 VHD files make use of Microsoft VHD HBA driver which allows in Boot Manager Menu to boot VHD as FILEDISK.
Booting VHD files from Grub4dos Menu as FILEDISK or as RAMDISK requires to Install in Source VHD either FiraDisk Or WinVBlock driver.
Additinally Installed Programs and Drivers and Settings are remembered in FILEDISK just like in normal Windows OS.
Loading the VHD into RAMDISK is much faster when the VHD file is located on the internal NTFS harddisk drive.
Add Drivers from makebt\drivers to system32\DriverStore\FileRepository is applied for Portable version by using Dism.exe
Run first VHD_W7C_drivers.exe plugin to add useful extra drivers to makebt\drivers folder.
Download VHD_W7C_drivers from http://reboot.pro/files/file/322-vhd-w7c-driversexe-plugin/ Or mirror
Let Portable version boot on different hardware to make it Universal by Install of Drivers.
Use Universal Portable Win7 VHD as Source to make Mini 7 VHD that can boot in any case on all experienced hardware.
Mini 7 has smallest Size of about 600 MB by removing Windows Media Player and by further reduction of system32 and DriverStore.
Mini 7 is very useful to Boot from RAMDISK on known hardware, since servicing for Adding Driver Packages has also been removed.
Build-in Defraggler is useful (really needed) to Defrag files within the Win7 VHD, but post processing is also possible after mounting the Win7 VHD.
NTFS Compression results in high fragmentation e.g. 85% so that it is advised to use Defrag VHD option.
VHD_W7_Compact.exe can create Boot Menu entry on HDD or USB Boot Drive for the Win7 VHD on NTFS Target System Drive.
VHD entry is added to Boot Manager Menu and Grub4dos Menu is made when FiraDisk or WinVBlock driver is found.
Program UEFI_MULTI can be used in Win 7/8/7PE OS to make other HDD or USB drives bootable with the created Win 7 VHD.
BOOT_IMG.exe makes Grub4dos Boot Menu on Target Boot Drive for VHD on NTFS Target System Drive (FileCopy of VHD occurs if not yet present)

Windows 7 Source VHD preparation
Boot with Windows 7/8 or 7 PE and then use WinNTSetup2_x86.exe
to Install Windows 7 x86 or x64 in 10-15 GB VHD or to Install on primary partition of internal harddisk
Boot Drive can be FAT32 or NTFS USB-drive so that normal booting of the internal harddisk is not changed.
Win 7 Setup ISO file was mounted via R-mouse in ImDisk Virtual drive
In WinNTSetup2 - Tweaks - Select all System Tweaks so that UAC is off etc.
After booting with Windows 7 then Check to have Switched Off :
UAC + Defender + pagefile + System Restore + Hibernate + Windows Update + Action Center settings Disable ALL options
Hibernate OFF is needed via cmd window with
CODE
powercfg -h OFF
Install FiraDisk driver with R-mouse on firadisk.inf in makebt\firadisk-driver- folder
The 64-bit FiraDisk driver requires to boot with testsigning switched on
Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
CODE
bcdedit /set testsigning on
Reboot to activate testsigning - Info http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff553484.aspx

Install of Win7 x64 in VHD mounted as drive Z: and VHD located on internal harddisk and by using booting from USB-Stick drive I:
In this way you boot from USB and Install in VHD located on primary NTFS partition of internal harddisk.
USB-Stick can be FAT32 or NTFS and has only Boot files so that normal booting of internal harddisk does NOT change.
Having the VHD located on NTFS drive of internal harddisk gives highest speed for booting Win7 VHD from Boot Manager menu
and also for loading Mini 7 VHD in RAMDISK by using FiraDisk driver and Grub4dos boot menu.
I think this is the most favourite configuration.
