Create and modify the contents of a VDI disk image in Linux

Question

Is there any way I can create a Virtual Box disk image (.vdi) that is NTFS formatted and copy a set of files to it prior to attaching it to an already configured instance as a second disk using VBoxManage?

Yes, you will have to:

"Aattch" the VDI file as another disk device
"Mount" NTFS partitions in that VDI file

Ways of doing that are described in this post:
