Can someone correct my attempt at mounting a xen image?
Im trying 2 things:
a)
losetup /dev/loop1 ./mywindows.img
mount -t ntfs /dev/loop1 /media/loop
which dmesg|tail tells me is Not an NTFS system

b) ntfsmount ./mywindows.img /media/loop -o force
which gives me mywindows.img invalid argument

The images was created by dd if=/dev/zero of=./mywindows.img bs=1024
count=20K

then installing windows under xen straight into it.

can anyone set me straight on this?

thanks
Glenn
