This is continuing with method 2 to prepare environment for building a SharePoint 2010 Farm [Dev]
As a follow up to the previous post, this method was blogged well before Microsoft released WIM2VHD and I still use this method to create Windows Server 2008 R2 VHD using either ISO mounted or the actual media.
To be honest, a vhd is being created right now using this method as I blog this!
