[ERROR] Failed to mount "file.img" with NTFS-3G: Invalid argument
ERROR: Exiting with error code 46:
NTFS-3G encountered an error (check errno).
ERROR: errno: Invalid argument
The raw disk image has already been partitioned and formatted with NTFS:
The NTFS-3G image application mode actually works *only* on raw partitions, not on mounted filesystems. The commands you gave only partitioned the disk, and didn't create an NTFS filesystem on it. Are you sure that you created an NTFS filesystem on it? That would require using the mkntfs program from ntfsprogs.
