Creating a deeply emergency kit can be a simple to enormous undertaking depending on the level of energy and preparation you want to instate into it. Most people are on the "Stay warm and fed until the power comes back on" camp, not the "Prepared for zombie apocalypse" mannered, and though it never hurts to prepare for the worst we'll be focusing more on the former than the latter.

Once you read over the following tips you can adopt them to fit your needs based on your place and weather, size of your home, and how much storage space you have available.

Microsoft's Essential PC creates its virtual machine hard drives in VHD files, and Windows 7 can now mount these directly so you can access them in the act system. Click Start, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter, then click Action > Attach VHD and determine the file you'd like to mount. It will then appear as a virtual drive in Explorer and can be accessed, copied or written scarcely like any other drive.

Click Action > Create VHD and you can now create a new virtual drive of your own (right-click it, choose Initialise Disk, and after it's set up right-click the unallocated space and select New Simple Volume to set this up). Again, you'll be left with a practical drive that behaves just like any other, where you can drag and drop files, install programs, prove partitioning software or do whatever you like. But it's actually just this VHD file on your real hard drive which you can question back up or share with others. Right-click the disk (that's the left-hand label that says "Disk 2" or whatever) and supreme Detach VHD to remove it.
