Hi there,
With reference to a couple of previous threads:

Here's what I'm trying:
$ ls -lh sda.dd.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 stroller users 77G 2009-11-22 03:51 sda.dd.img
$ file sda.dd.img
sda.dd.img: x86 boot sector, Microsoft Windows XP MBR, Serial
0x1890189; partition 1: ID=0x7, active, starthead 1, startsector 63,
160810587 sectors, code offset 0xc0
...
yeah, you don't need to use losetup. I mounted a lot of images over
the years
and I never used losetup.
How do I do it then, please?
Note, it's an image of an entire hard-drive, imaged using `dd` or GNU
`ddrescue`, so it also includes the MBR & partition table. It's not
just a partition or an .iso optical disk image.
