- Download and install the TRIAL of Acronis True Image Home 2012 or upper
- Make the .TIB backup on the source drive (can be an USB drive), let all options by default
- After completion, inside Acronis True Image Home 2012, go to Tools and search option for Acronis Backup Conversion
It will generate a .VHD file
- Download and install WinImage TRIAL
http://www.winimage.com/download.htm
- Inside WinImage, open the .VHD file, select the good partition
- Go to menu -> Disk -> Convert Virtual Disk Image
- Select your .VHD file
- Select either 'Fixed Size Virtual Hard Disk' or 'Dynamically Expanding Virtual Hard Disk'
- Select destination filename for .VMDK file

Second part :
- Run VMWare Workstation 7
- Realizate a new VM (select memory, Windows version, network...)
- Use an existing virtual disk and go browse for your .VMDK (you can convert its compus or keep it as you wish)
- Click Finish and run it.

CAUTION : Windows may warn you about activation because of hardware changes.
