How to view file system and contents of ntfsclone image

[Rehaan_Raja]

I created an image of my partition with "ntfsclone"

Man page: https://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsclone

The result was an image file or .img file.

I right clicked and mounted it with Disk Image Mounter in Ubuntu Budgie.

In the program gnome-disks (to install it type "sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility"), the image shows up as mounted under /dev/ as "Loop3". Unfortunately the program does not detect that it is an ntfs partition and instead says it has an "Unknown" file system.

How can I get the program to recognise the ntfs file system so that I can view the files?

Don't use ".img" files or Disk Image Mounter but you might try to manually mount it. First create a mount point, as an example: sudo mkdir /mnt/fileimg
Then try to loop mount it: sudo mount -o loop nameoffile.img /mnt/fileimg. Obviously replace the name with the actual name.
