Restore an AD forest, cannot restore from Windows Server Backup

Hello.

I have a 2012 R2 Hyper-V server. Here I run a few 2012 R2 (Gen 2 VM's) domain controllers and use Windows Server Backup on one of the DC's to create a Full server backup to an additional .vhdx attached to the VM. I want to test this backup, simulating a full wipe of the environment.

I create a new vm (Gen 2) and attach a blank disk, an 2012 R2 ISO and the .vhdx file containing a full backup. I folllow these procedures (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781218(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_FullServerRecovery) but the server only reports that it cannot find any system images. When I go into the command prompt I am able to find the disk containing the backup without any problems so the disk is available to the vm.

Any suggestions?
