Hello James, 


I'm sorry for delay, I was away from the network.



Let us check image you have grabbed.
Is it ok or no.


Question #1.

If you have qemu installed, 
just try to run

qemu -hda centos.img

and say (or better show)
what do you see.


Question #2.

(if QEMU is not installed and you can't install it)

What does the command chow?

# file centos.img



Question #3.


# lsmod | grep -q ^loop || modprobe loop
# losetup /dev/loop1 centos.img  
  (if /dev/loop1 is busy, try /dev/loop2, /dev/loop3 and so on
  you can get know what loop devices are busy with the command
  losetup -a
  if device is not listed, it is not busy and you can use it)

# fdisk -l /dev/loop1

And show what you have got.
