Creating VirtualBox-Image as "harddisk" by shell-script

Hello,

I'm trying to create a VirtualBox "harddisk" and put an dd-image into it. This image shoudn't work as a virtual maschine, I just want to be able to mount it to an folder. How can I do this with an shell script?

Okay, I found a way to create it with the following command :

Code:

VBoxManage createvdi -filename NameImage.vdi -size 2048 -static -type writethrough -register

But I still don't know, how to add a file into this vdi? Can someone help?

       Prima::Image::TransparencyControl - standard dialog for transparent color index selection.

DESCRIPTION

       The module contains two classes - "Prima::Image::BasicTransparencyDialog" and "Prima::Image::TransparencyControl". The former provides a
       dialog, used by image codec-specific save options dialogs to select a transparent color index when saving an image to a file.

       Change
	   Triggered when the user changes "index" property.

Prima::Image::BasicTransparencyDialog
   Methods
       transparent BOOLEAN
	   If 1, the transparent selection widgets are enabled, and the user can select the palette index. If 0, the widgets are disabled; the
	   image file is saved with no transparent color index.

	   The property can be toggled interactively by a checkbox.
