When running setup.exe from Windows 8.1 (which runs on a VHD also) setup tells me that "this version of Windows cannot be installed on a virtual machine"
Anyone else got this?
Yes I got this....
I have dual boot working flawlessly...like you i had issues at first so I double checked everything.
First I verified ISO's with Hashtab...check
Second I recreated My VHD ...two images available I chose Consumer.
Then I copied (unmounted) the VHD into c:\Vms
I then followed these instructions (To mount/dual boot) rather than the older command line way...this new method eliminates most command line commands...I used to use.

I had to manually assign drive letter after which was easy to do G:
I verified in msconfig and rebooted and everything worked great.
