the hard drive failed on my laptop so have got a new one and I had 2 system image back ups.
When I tried to reinstall the most recent one it did not find it from the external hard drive.
So I installed the old system image.

In the new one I am able to mount the .vhd file in Disk Management and see it is the exact same size as my c: drive.

Is it possible to replace the contents of of my c: drive with the .vhd contents?

Apparently it can be done, see HERE, but it doesn't look very easy.

Probably best to just mount the vhd image and only copy your data.

By all means post back your results if you try it.
