CentOS - Oct 2014 - how2 mount ntfs partition that is part of a full HD image file

I have a full disk image file (courtesy of ddrescue), and need to mount
one of its partitions. I suppose I should have just extracted the single
partition when I was using ddrescue, but right now I have the whole disk
instead, and no disk space left to re-do the extraction (in fact I won't
be able to use the system where I did it for several weeks, so I'd love
to be able to mount just the partition from the image I have).

I'll be doing some digging, but thought I'd inquire here too.

thanks in advance!

Piece of cake!
    kpartx -a -v /path/to/image/file

Now you'll have devices in /dev/mapper corresponding to the partitions
in the image.  Run "kpartx -d -v /path/to/image/file" when you are
done
(after unmounting any of the partitions, of course).
