I suspect you would need to use losetup to give you another device a certain offset into the disk. Something like losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop0 /dev/nbd0 ( The number of heads (63) * sector size (512) = 32256 ) Then you should be able to mount /dev/loop0 > Either way it only seems to be detecting a 500GB drive.

I think you are quite right, so it's possible the NBD stuff isn't doing quite the right concatenation and might not help you afterall.
