Centos – Open/Mount XEN image formatted using NTFS

centosimagentfsraw-diskxen

I've created XEN image with dd some time ago.

The image is formatted using the NTFS

How it is possible to mount this image from Linux or Windows?

Thank You very much!

You should be able to mount this as a loop device with a command similar to this one.
mount /path/to/image /mnt -t ntfs -o loop
or
mount /path/to/image /mnt -t ntfs -o loop=/dev/loop3

This will mount the image at /path/to/image /mnt as a loop device. The first option will create the loop device on an unused loop device. While the 2nd option will force the loop device to be setup on /dev/loop3.

You can get more options from the mount man pages or losetup man pages but losetup shouldn't be required to do this.
