Installation of HYPER V in Windows Server 2008R2
Hello
I have installed HYPER V in 64 bit Windows 208 R2. I have made 3 partitions on the hard drive. I installed Windows 7 as one of the virtual OS and installed windows XP as another OS. My problems is when i start Windows 7 and then try to start the Windows XP, it gives error "The application encountered an error while attempting to change the state of WINXP".
What can be the problem, please advice. Attached screenshot of the error.

Don't use physical disks with hyper-v.. Everything should be on virtual disks (vhd's) (the operating system and its data) If you need stuff from your host operating system share it on the host operating system and access the share from the virtual machine

Thanks David, can you please explain in detail, if i have to use the C drive only to install both the virtual OS.
again you don't set the virtual machines to use physical disks you create a virtual hard disk and install to that virtual hard disk. Where you create this virtual disk is totally up to you

Yes i have created virtual harddisk on D partition and tried to install but same error is showing. Can you give me for reference any document as how to proceed for the Hyper V.
