I think I have the same question, when I'm creating the vhd file with raw bytes, I can't attach it because of vhd signature, which exists at the end of file. I tried to just copy the signature from vhd file I created in disk management, but that didn't work. Can anyone tell what does bytes of that signature mean?

It's done in exact same way as the file on any other disk. I think your only problem is understanding of the term "virtual". In essence, it means behaving in all main aspects in the same way as the "real". :-)
