After unsuccessful attempts at installing Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh, I ended up using the Release Candidate VPC with Virtual Server 2005.  I couldn't stand the performance so I decided to move the virtual image to a physical drive.  After a lot of unsuccessful attempts, I finally came up with a working solution....

I downloaded a trial version of WinImage which lets you copy a .vhd to a physical drive.  After this was done, Windows couldn't load because it was installed on the VPC's “Virtual” hardware... it couldn't load with the drastic hardware change and gave me a lovely BSOD before the windows logo came up.  I then popped in my MSDN windows DVD and ran a repair installation (fhe TFS VPC uses Win2003 Enterprise), and after a 40 minute wait, I had a working physical installation of that VPC server!

Hope this helps anyone that's wanted to do the same thing....

Hi,
Can you tell me how we can configure the extract VHD content OS as primary boot?
