Hi there, |
2 |
|

Before installing on a new laptop which came with Vista pre-installed |
4 |
I took an image of the hard-drive using dd. (ie: `dd if=/dev/sda of=/ |
5 |
mnt/sdb1/disk.img`, where /mnt/sdb1 was a portable USB hard-drive). |
6 |
|
7 |
Obviously the intention was that if I b0rked things up I could just |
8 |
`dd` the image back onto the laptop and all would work as the |
9 |
manufacturer shipped it, but I'd now find it useful to be able to |
10 |
take a look inside the image and examine a few files. Is there any |
11 |
way to do this, please? |
12 |
|
13 |
I'm fairly confident that there were originally a couple of |
14 |
partitions on the drive, and the one I want to look at will be NTFS, |
15 |
of course. I know that a CD iso I can mount using `mount file.iso / |
16 |
mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o loop`, but is there an equivalent for whole |
17 |
partition tables? |
18 |
|

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advices, |
