[Blind-sysadmins] disk image lite image convert vhd or iso?

Hello, I've got a disk image lite backup of a drive saved to a usb portable drive. What I'm wanting to do is mount that image either on a host system as an iso, or possibly as input to a virtual machine as a vhd to use live, i'm wanting to search said image for some missing files. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.
