xmount --in {{raw}} {{path/to/image.dd}} --out {{dmg}} {{mountpoint}}

  • Mount an EWF image file with write-cache support into a VHD file to boot from:

xmount --cache {{path/to/cache.ovl}} --in {{ewf}} {{path/to/image.E??}} --out {{vhd}} {{mountpoint}}

  • Mount the first partition at sector 2048 into a new .raw image file:

xmount --offset {{2048}} --in {{raw}} {{path/to/image.dd}} --out {{raw}} {{mountpoint}}
