How can i open a virtual disk in read-write mode ?

I've tried with guestfish also.
I have compiled libguestfs with this conf:
./configure \
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 \
--prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--disable-probes \
--disable-gobject \
--enable-introspection=no \
--disable-lua \
--disable-erlang \
--disable-php \
--disable-haskell \
--disable-ruby \
--without-java \
--with-default-attach-method=libvirt
am i missing something ?
It certainly should work :-(
My only thought is that it's an NTFS filesystem which is in an unclean
state, and ntfs-3g is refusing to mount it read-write.
Can you try it with guestfish, and add the '-x' and/or '-v' options in
order to display precisely what libguestfs is doing?
