    There's not any way to use a virtual hard disk eith windows 7 on it to dual boot eh? i got this greaat idea of going to a computer with a DVD drive installing windows 7 in a virtual machine, transferring the VHD over the network to my laptop.. and running it from that.. ive gotten to the point of it being on my laptop and running it with a virtual machine (runs really nice once properly set up).. now im just trying to figure out how to boot from it.. any ideas? XD
    thanks!

    An Easy Way, Yet Legal ;) to do this. *EDIT the wallpaper I currently have, can be found here. http://i48.tinypic.com/6hu9gl.jpg

    Download MagicDisc, set it up. Then get your Windows 7 Ultimate ISO from your extracted CD or where ever your source is.

    Mount The Windows 7 ISO with Magic Disc (The whole pic does not show, so here http://i47.tinypic.com/295dev5.jpg)

    The setup should pop up and it will look like this

    Then you should know the rest on how to install it, and when it's done installing you will have the perfect Netbook (apart from that wretched freezing) ENJOY! :D (The whole pic does not show, so here http://i46.tinypic.com/1zxoync.jpg)
