windows 7 - Restore some files out of SystemImageBackup

I'm wondering if it is possible to extract some files out of the SystemImageBackup without restoring the whole backup?

Answer

Is that the same as this? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Restore-files-from-a-backup

^ That was not correct for extracting a full disk image

Windows 7 creates a Virtual Hard Disk VHD file that contains all of your files. This will show you how to attach (mount) this VHD file using Disk Management

If that was not correct, or if it is going to be a big pain, I know what I would do, and that is make a Real image using a real backup like Acronis which you can get for free if you have a Western digital drive anywhere seen by your system. you can get WD acronis.

Backup with a real imager an image of the system partition, then recover the MS image, extract all the things you need , and then put the system back with the real imaging program. Then toss MS and start using the 3rd party stuff that works.
