Hi Gaolin

I tried this one works too:

[root at localhost chadley]# mount -o loop -t vfat
/home/chadley/isos/techimgs/win98disk.img  /home/chadley/windoze/
[root at localhost chadley]# ls -la windoze/
total 349876
drwxr-xr-x    1 chadley  chadley      4096 Apr  5 22:19 .
drwx------   90 chadley  chadley      4096 Apr  7 21:40 ..
-rwxr-xr-x    1 chadley  chadley    800730 Feb 26 20:03 4000v41.exe
-rwxr-xr-x    1 chadley  chadley       240 Oct 29  1998 91TST1.txt

Just bear in mind that IIRC my drive was win98 running on fat 16.
It was a 95 that was upgraded to 98 and we chose not to upgrade the fat
table because the data on it was a bit expensive to risk loosing.
Hope we are helping you, and not the latter.
