Can't open a three week old backup

Thread needs solution

I did a full backup of my win 8.1 system 3 weeks ago. This was the first and only backup I have done with acronis

It was saved onto an HDD and then transferred without change onto my Desktop machine.

I suffered a complete system failure a week later and decided to get rid of windows completely and move to Mac.

However knowing I needed to recover files from that backup, I have temporarily reinstalled from disc, windows 8 pro on the laptop. I don't want to go through the laborious upgrade process again. I have tried to open the .tib file with the trial version of ATI 2014 but it keeps telling me the backup is either corrupted or I don't have permission to open it.

I desperately need to get to some files for work

What can I do?

Thanks

Try booting from the TrueImage Home Recovery CD and restore the single files or folders when booted fromthe CD and the restore could be into spare folders if needed.
