When you try to perform a native boot from a virtual hard disk (VHD), the operation fails, and you receive the following Stop error message:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer. An initialization failure occurred while attempting
to boot from a VHD. The volume that hosts the VHD does not have enough free
space to expand the VHD.

Stop: 0x00000136 (0x00000000, 0xc0000007f, 0x000000, 0x000000)

Note The second parameter of the bug check is ”0xc000007f - STATUS_DISK_FULL.”

This problem occurs when you use a VHD that has been configured as a dynamically expanding VHD. When you perform a native boot, a dynamically expanding VHD is expanded to its maximum size. This Stop error occurs because the volume that hosts the VHD does not have sufficient free space to expand the VHD past that boundary.
