I recommend that you start again. This time do logical imaging (i.e. by filesystem) rather than physical drive imaging. The standard free (as in beer) tool for doing this in the computer forensics world is dcfldd (DOD Computer Forensics Lab) dd.
If you do not want to start again you can use the mmls utility (may need -t dos option) to extract metadata for the relevant logical partition from the physical image. You can then use dcfldd skip=start_sector count=lenght bs=512 to extract the logical partition from the physical image.
Then, if partition is NTFS as is likely, use
Code:
mount -t ntfs -o ro,noexec,loop,show_sys_files partition.img /mnt
Both dcfldd and mmls are available for download on the Internet. mmls is part of TSK (The Sleuth Kit.) dcfldd is available on SourceForge.

Guys can anyone tell how can we do faster disk cloning
Below i found in google
1. dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=noerror,sync
So adding "conv=noerror,sync " makes it faster looks against not adding it
2. Enable write cache activated (hdparm -W1 /dev/sda) then run dd ..

I am trying to clone the hard disk image of Solaris OS on one disk to another disk. After some googling I found that there is a command "dd" to achieve this.
