
Offline virus clean: if a machine is attacked, the administrator shuts it down, boots with bootable
media and creates an image. Then, the administrator mounts this image in read/write mode,
scans and cleans it with an antivirus program, and finally recovers the machine.

Error check: if recovery failed due to a disk error, mount the image in the read/write mode.
Then, check the mounted disk for errors with the chkdsk /r command.
