Can I boot Linux from a VHD?

Is there some way to boot a Linux system from a VHD in Windows 7?

If there is a way, how do I put it there in the first place?

EDIT: To clarify, I’m not trying to run Linux in a VM. I’m trying to boot it in my physical machine, from a VHD, as I can do with Windows 7.

Answer

You cannot. In Windows VHD support is integrated in boot process and Linux does not offer such support. Additionally, I am not aware that Linux supports booting from any other virtual disk type.
