Mounting an image

I am a big fan of FTK Imager. It should accomplish both of your tasks

harlan,

Cygwin should be able to provide this through the loopback adapter.
Paraben P2 explorer is similar to MIP

I don't know of much else off the top of my head.

Gents,

Thanks for the responses. One of the guys on my team has an image of a logical partition/drive, and needs to mount it to scan it with AV. I've sent your suggestions to him…I did notice at the P2eXplorer page that it says that is supports both physical and logical image types, so that may work.

Thanks again,

Harlan

Unless things have changed recently, Cygwin does not have that capability in windows, although you *can* use something like FileDisk (http//www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/) to create target mounts for Cygwin. One of our techs tested this when it first came out (not sure if he used it with Cygwin or not) and he sent us out a notice about it.

Harlan, I never got around to using FileDisk myself, but it might be close to what you are looking for. If P2eXplorer is not ideal, this is another option to pass on. YMMV.

Barry,

Thanks, I'm waiting to hear back from our guy with the issue.

You're right that was my bad. I thought they'd finally added it, but guess not.

Marat,

I'll definitely have to take a look at VDK.

Does anyone have any experience with it?
