It's perfectly possible, but you forgot an important point: you imaged a DRIVE, and want to mount a PARTITION. IIRC, there are 63 blocks of 512 bytes between the beginning of the disk and the beginning of the partition, so how about losetup /dev/loop0 testing.bin -o 63 Maybe it's not 63 (though I think it is), but anyway this is the way to go. Later you can mount it with no problem.
