I have a dd image of a disk with 4 partitions (partition 1 vfat; 2 swap; 3 ext3; 4 ext3). Normally you can mount partition images with -o loop, but you have to specify the fstype (-t vfat or in the case of a cdrom -t iso9660). Since you have to specify the fstype, I assume that you can only mount a dd image if it's all one fstype. I don't know how to mount a whole disk containing several partitions. Is there a way of mounting the image so it looks like a disk, so I can look at the partition table and delete/add partitions, do mke2fs etc?

Thanks Joe
