I am trying to following the to mount an img file on ubuntu:

But when I do 'sudo mount -o test.img /mnt/disk'

 $ sudo mount -o test.img /mnt/disk
mount: can't find /mnt/disk in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Can you please tell me how can fix that?

You forgot to actually give the options to -o. Because of that, mount interprets "test.img" as the options, and not as the disk/image to mount.

sudo mount -o loop test.img /mnt/disk

Maybe the right way to do it would be to convert img file to iso and than mount it as loop device.

according to this thread

you forgot to add "loop"
