Re: tool for mount a dd image

[PCSage Information Services <info () pcsage biz>]

Perhaps it might be best to edit smb.conf to share the new available 
mount point (after the mount (mnt?) -o loop...)  and therefore make it 
available to windows. This of course assumes that you're running samba 
in your environment. While it may not be the same as a local mount it 
would give you access to an otherwise windows inaccessible image.

Good Luck
