If so, can you help me out?

Is it possible to have, basically, a hard drive with two files on it. One is called win7.vhd for example, and the other server08R2.vhd.

Because, I've tried it, and it seems to eat up double the diskspace. When you boot not only do you see the OS as you would normally, (with program files, windows folders, etc) you also see your VHD files and the space they are taking up.

Is there another way to get the HD to work the way I've described? Essentially meaning, if you put the HDD in another machine you would just see two vhd files on it.
