Access data and filesystem in Q4OS for Windows installation loopfile

If you need to access data and filesystem in Q4OS for Windows installation loopfile.
Boot from live media, Q4OS, or other Linux. Mount the root.disk from within Q4OS terminal:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/mntpoint/
$ sudo losetup --show -f -P /<path_to>/root.disk
$ sudo mount /dev/loopX /tmp/mntpoint/

don't forget to unmount prior poweroff:
$ sudo umount /tmp/mntpoint/
$ sudo losetup -d /dev/loopX

substitute "loopX" for a loop device number issued by the "losetup" command, for ex. "loop1".
