You cannot restore the image to another laptop with different hardware and expect it to boot. You should be able to mount the VHD file as a virtual disk and copy any files you need to an external drive.

Thank you for the reply, do I need to mount the VHD as a virtual disk on the original PC? Or can I create it on a separate laptop?

Thanks very much, my problem is resolved. The mounted VHD file allowed me to access the files I needed.

You should always backup your files when reformatting. Or mount them in VHD.
