Converting a Windows system image with multiple partitions

Thread needs solution

Using the trial version and am just about completely sold. One thing I can't figure out yet though is the Windows system image conversion to Acronis TIB. I have a gold base image for my machine in the Windows VHD format. It has 2 partitions in it, the 100 MB system partition and the boot partition which is standard after a fresh install. However, when I go to do the conversion, it's instructing me to choose each individual VHD file to convert.

How do I convert this all to one Acronis image file? Am I overlooking anything?

You cannot. The Windows system image creates one VHD file per partition. When you convert, you will get 2 different TIB files. You cannot change this outcome.
You don't need to convert to be able to restore. You need to convert to be able to mount or explore the image.
