Viewing image files and their properties
You can view the contents of an image file, including details of the partitions,
directories, and files. You can also view the image file properties.
If the image file contains NTFS partitions that are stored on a CD you might receive
frequent prompts to swap CDs when you try to view the image file. To avoid this
problem, copy the spans from the CD onto a hard disk and then view the image
file on the hard disk.
