When I do a dd, I mount the resulting image file in a loop, and use "mc" to

it's a very good way, but not all systems allow easy loop mount (even if this
is possible also on windows)

I loop mounted ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, iso9something... applied fsck to recover badly damaged filesystems... works fine. I haven't yet found a filesystem type which can not be loopmounted.

I was not thinking of _file_ system, but _operating_ system, namely windows 98 :-)

using fsck on a loop mounted file system is a very good idea
