Grub2 mount windows iso

[parrimin]

Is there a way to mount a windows-xp.iso image from grub2 to not to have to burn the cd?

I know burning a cd is not so much cost, but i thought mounting images from grub would be great, but i crashed on first round.
After some tries, i discovered all the examples I found are about mounting linux images, but not windows images. Is there any restriction?

My last entry in /etc/grub.d/35_Windows_ISO is as:

#! /bin/sh -e
cat << EOF
menuentry "Windows ISO" {
loopback loop (hd0,1)/SOSEG.iso
chainloader (loop)
}

and after sudo update-grub, i reboot, and there is a new line in grub menu, but it says no such file '' when entering.

Perhaps i can only do it with Linux images, but i have not found anyone saying so...

Sorry, i have not explained the first attempt:

#! /bin/sh -e
cat << EOF
menuentry "Windows ISO" {
set root=(hd0,1)
loopback loop /SOSEG.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/SOSEG.iso
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

and it says: You have to load the kernel first
