This is really easy:
- run winsetup as user
- select "Personal session configuration: win"
- and under "Drives & Filesystem" click on "Add" then "CD-ROM"
- and under devices on "Other".
- Enter the full path to your image here and everything is done.
Win4lin automaticly detects that it is an image and mounts it correctly.
