Mount an image as virtual disk

Hi,

I'm quite new in Linux, and therefore, I have a question.

I have received a hard drive of which the partition table is corrupted (broken).

I made an image of the disk, using G4U; and now, after I have unzipped the image, I would like to mount that image as a virtual disk, so I can use gpart to rewrite the partition table.

My question is, how can I mount that image as a virtual disk ?

Many thanks in advance,

KnottyBoy

I assume a simple looback would work: "mount -o loop /home/user/drive.img /mnt/drive" for example
