I. Once I make a backup copy of the VHD file for future use, I will go ahead and Mount the VHD again to add that installation to the boot menu. To do this, I will right click Disk Management and select Attach VHD. The Attach VHD Wizard will start. I can either browse to the VHD or just type it in the Location field.
J. The VHD will be mounted and will be assigned a drive letter by the system. In my case, it is drive F: again.
K. Go back to the Administrative Command Prompt and type the following command to add the installation to the Boot Menu: bcdboot F:windows
L. Once the command finishes, you will now have the new Windows 8 entry in your boot menu.
