Once the frameworks are installed (a logout may be needed. (It's incredibly handy to have these frameworks installed anyways and simply extends the capability of READING NTFS filesystems to also allowing WRITING of NTFS filesystems.) You will need to install the MACFUSE framework, then install the NTFS-3G framework for mac. However, IF you wish to CREATE another SLAVE harddrive (VDI) for your GUEST system you will need to CONVERT your HFS+ DMG file to a universally readable format NTFS. However, IF you wish to simply READ this DMG file from a GUEST that has shared folder usage, you can MOUNT the DMG file in Mac OS X, then ADD this DMG file to your shared folder and now READ in your GUEST.
This will convert the DMG to a VDI image although the file format will be HFS+ which is only readable to Mac, or using $MacDRIVE$ application from Windows OS. VBoxManage convertdd yourdmgfile.dmg yournewvdiimage.vdi
