I've read lots of guides and so far none have worked for me.

I have made an image of a Windows Vista x86 machine using ATI 2012. I need to boot this machine within VMWare 9. I have tried two methods:

1) Use various tools to convert the .tib file into something VMWare 9 can cope with. All file formats have so far proved to be incompatible with VMWare 9

2) Create a Virtual machine and then mount an ISO image of ATI to restore the .tib file into the virtual machine. This looked really good right up to the point that ATI informed me that it did not support virtual disks and then stopped working.

Please can someone help me with a method that just works :-)

Unless something has changed recently, the converters only work with the older image formats.

I've used many versions of TI in VMWare Workstation 8 without problems. I haven't tried 9 yet, but I don't see why it would be much different. I usually just boot the ISO and then restore the image to the drive. Basically, it's the same as doing a normal restore on a physical system.
