What about installing cygwin and using the native 'dd' tool?  Just a
guess, but it may support the linux file systems you need.

Are you sure you have NT filesystems compiled into your kernel?

I think what they asked of is a way to mount dd disk images in Windows,
not the other way around. I have never yet seen a way to this,
DaemonTool's only work since it's made to read DVDFS/CDFS/ISO
filesystems, but it has no knowledge of fs structures like ntfs or
similar.

Using the linux way of mount -o loop /path/to/dd-file /mnt/point should
have been supported in a big commercial OS like windows but what can you
say ;) it's MS
