    Meh, I'll use VHD method like I did with DP. Worked smooth as butter and no performance hit.

    No text version available? What if I want to delete the WCP VHD? What are the steps without messing up the windows 7 boot manager?

    After deleting VHD file you can leave BCD alone, but it will annoy you, so better erase the blank record, so it won't pop every time you turn on your PC.

    Use EasyBCD to clean up.

    Please use Google, there are a lot of articles about how to use a VHD.
    I would simply recommend also to get EasyBCD, with this you can also avoid using a usb stick by using ISO booting and better manage your Boot Entrys (no i will not explain it, it's simple enough.. can't be bothered)

    Thanks everyone. I already knew how to set up and install to a VHD, my only concern was when I didn't need it anymore what could happen to the boot entry (as I hate to spend more time waiting for the boot) :)
