Vista - Run a Backup VHD in a VPC?

Is it possible to create a Virtual PC 2007 machine from a disk image (*.VHD
file) made by Vista's Complete PC backup? If so, how would I do this please?

Thanks

"Virtually" impossible. Any machine you get the Vista image from would
have radically different hardware than what is emulated in the VM.

I also imagine it is a huge violation of copyright.

Also, it just doesn't work. The backup VHDs are missing certain
components that just don't allow it to boot.
You can mount it as a secondary VHD in a VM and access the files that
way though.

Thanks Steve

I wasn't aiming to break copyright; merely access some of my files off the
backup without going through the hassle of reinstalling the entire image.

Thanks

In which case, Steve's answer is right on. Mount it as a secondary hard
drive and grab what you want from it. I am wondering, though, if
perhaps the OS that saved it might have compressed files instead of
making a bit-for-bit copy. I guess that depends on the OS then. Good luck.
