Windows Image Backup to Hyper-V Machine

I have a full Windows Image Backup of a server running 2008 Standard. I need to create a virtual machine (hyper-v) from this backup. I have done this before, but I can't remember what I did. I know boot up with an ISO and go into system restore, but once I get there I cannot access the USB media that contains the backup. Any suggestions!?

The server im trying to restore was a standalone server.

Pass the USB disk directly through to the VM (WARNING: MAKE A BACKUP OF THE USB FIRST JUST IN CASE!)

I did this, but when I launch the command prompt and run list disk, it does not show the USB disk in the list, just the main partition C
