Hi Muhammad,

If there are only "classical" partitions inside your image file, e.g 
ext3 (no LVM), you can try something like this, that is mounting your 
image file as a loopback device :
# mount -o loop,offset=32256 /path/to/image.raw /path/to/mount_point

It should work also for windows (NTFS) image files

If there are LVM partitions, it is also possible, but a little bit more 
involved...

Alain
