Mounting converted .tib -> .vhd Fails in Hyper-V Stand Alone

Anyone have any luck converting a .tib to a .vhd and getting it boot in the Stand Alone Free Hyper-V from Microsoft? We just get boot device failures or a blinking cursor only when starting it up. We are converting them with True Image Echo Workstation version 8163 but are downloading 8206 today to try that as well.

Not sure if there is a trick to getting the hard drive to be recognized like in ESX where you have to supply the floppy image with drivers on it (F6 when Windows starts) type issue.

Any help is appreciated, waiting on tech support for their ideas.

 

Hello ccboperations,

Thank you for your interesting in Acronis True Image

Check the following Step-by-step instructions on how to convert a backup archive (*.tib) to virtual hard disk (*.vhd) and import it to Hyper-V. Use this link.

Thanks but as I mentioned in my original post, I have seen those instructions and have no issue mounting other .vhd files from Virtual PC or Server on the Hyper-V. Also, I am not using the Hyper-V on top of Windows 2008, I am using the Stand Alone version on Hyper-V. Does Acronis support this? All your instructions point to the Hyper-V on top of Windows 2008 GUI OS and not the stand alone bare metal install.
