If someone stops you on the street and says "Do you know the way to XYZ street?" do you say "oh, I've been to a 123 street before, I'll tell him how to get there!" or do you respond "Sorry, I don't know"? ... > Now to clarify my posting: > > I used mounted images under Linux, that's why I > thought the fact I can use it under Linux you can do > so under Cygwin.

That'd be fine if this was the "making stuff up" list, but it's not - it's a list for users of *forensic utilities*.
