Remarks

If the disk signature and partition identifier within the VHD are omitted, it is necessary to search all VHD partitions to locate the partition that contains the boot device element (the application path for a device on which a boot application resides, or the system root for a device on which an operating system resides). This is a referred to as a VPART locate device. If the VHD file's parent disk signature and partition identifier are also omitted, it is also necessary to search all of the physical disks to locate the VHD file. This is referred to as a VPART+PPART locate device. To specify a locate device, use the SetVhdDeviceElement method.
