How do I mount an NTFS image created by GNU NTFSclone on Windows?
Solution 1:
If you just need to read an image, 7-zip should do it, believe it or not. The file manager UI should let you view the contents or extract, the 7z.exe
command-line tool should let you extract it too.
Proof since this got downvoted despite being right, in a changelog.
If you actually need to write, or make the system think it's a real disk, I think OSFMount may be the only option. It is free (as in free beer, if you want that distinction made).
Solution 2:
I'm using PassMark OSFMount, as it's a simple no-nonsense utility perfect for temporary mounts. It doesn't register itself with the system start up or install an icon to the system tray.
I am not sure if your NTFS images will be compatible, but you might want to try:

If you want a write access, be sure to uncheck the read-only flag during mounting.
