Easy VHD to Physical Disk Solution

Can I copy VHD to the physical disk?

I have a Lenovo laptop runs Windows XP and at the same time I set up Windows 7 on a VHD. Now I want to upgrade my computer from XP to Windows 7. But there is no straight upgrade path, and I do not want to spend an entire weekend setting everything up. After some testing, I would like to copy VHD to physical disk to move the content of the VHD to my real hard drive. I think it is the best way to do the upgrade job. It allows me to set up the machine step by step in parallel to working with the original one. But I don’t know how can I clone VHD to the physical disk? Do you have any suggestion?
