#1613 Make NTFS Readable
I'm using 7-zip to insert and extract files to IMG files, but as NTFS (the file format which this IMG file uses) is set to read-only, I cannot insert files into it. NTFS is a common file storage format, and it would be useful for it to be writeable. After all, as far as I know IMG files are raw copies of a hard drive, and compression methods may not even be needed.
In WinImage, the file still supports it when you open VHD/IMG file. WinImage supports NTFS read-only along with VMware Hard Disk (VMDK).
For some reason. only FAT/FAT32 are writable since WinImage does support that.
WinImage is an old software and though it is updated relatively frequently, it has not yet received an update to make NTFS writeable (it was first made for Windows 3.1).
