In that article, it is mentioned that "Note: do not attach to VHDs on the same system on which you created them if you plan on booting from them. If you do so, Windows will assign the VHD a new disk signature to avoid a collision with the signature of the VHD’s source disk. Windows references disks in the boot configuration database (BCD) by disk signature, so when that happens Windows booted in a VM will fail to locate the boot disk."
Yes, you can attach VHDs onto the same system on which you created them and boot from them.
Follow the steps:
1. download EASEUS TODO BACKUP or any other backup softwares;
2. make a backup of the system partition of the currently-running system (usually it is C:\ drive);
3. create a blank vhd (this vhd will carry a different disk signature);
4. restore that backup to the vhd just created;
5. now have that vhd boot ... it works!

不好意思,剛才拜讀您的文章仍舊是不懂如何restore that backup to the vhd just created?能否講詳細一點呢?謝謝!!
用 easeus todo backup 將你那個 windows 7 的 system partition 做一個 backup，
然後建立一個 vhd，建立以後就連結 vhd，現在你的電腦會多了一個 drive (vhd)，
然後用 easeus todo backup 將先前建立的 backup 檔 restore 到剛建立的 vhd drive，
(你不用離開 windows，easeus todo backup 可以在視窗環境內進行備份檔 restore)，
restore 完了，你就會有一個跟現在系統一樣的 vhd 檔，
這個 vhd 檔就可以拿來在原來的機器上作 vhd 原生系統啟動 (vhd boot)。
