Your question doesn't have enough information to offer anything but general advice. First you need to figure out what kind of a image file of a disk that you have. That could mean a bunch of different things! Popular Disk Image Formats.

The software that made the disk image (what ever that software was), will have a "restore" function that re-creates the original disk represented by the disk image. That means among other things that there will be a file system instead of a huge single "thing" consisting of just a bunch of bits in a possibly proprietary format. So first step is to re-create the original disk on a new disk or some file system partition, etc.

Once you have something like that, you can think about writing code that searches this collection of files (a directory is just a special kind of file) for what you want. At this point, I have no idea of what you really want to do.
