Mounting snapshots in Virtual Machine

$

I have a blob (vhd) mounted in a virtual machine that I have taken a snapshot of.  On that vhd, I change two files: foo.jpg, goo.png.  Inside the virtual machine I would like to mount the snapshot and extract the previous versions of these files.  I would like to mount the snapshot in a read-only manner and not promote the snapshot, or create a new blob based off of this snapshot.

A document from Microsoft entitled "Windows_Azure_Drive-February_2010_v1.docx" says:

“In addition, we allow snapshots themselves to be mounted as read only drives, and a single snapshot can be mounted as a read-only drive by many VMs at the same time.”

 How can I do this?
