Yes you can, that is what I meant in my previous reply. According to
the link I sent: "... you could create a file representing a partition
and put this image file even on a NTFS partition of a foreign OS ..."

I do not know if any device is searched for the file, sorry. (The way I
understand the documentation is: the file is searched on any local
device at top level directory)
