The filesystem starts from sector 0. I have an encrypted container on the host and want to pass decrypted media to the windows guest as a single physical device that is intended to be mounted on guest. I don't want to use filesharing service between host and guest, it is slow and introduce unneeded overhead compared to simple block device sharing.

You don't mention which virtualization software you're using. – Olathe Jun 08 '16 at 16:08

VMware Player, but this is not important, the question is about the windows guest ability to mount disks with raw filesystem without partition table – ZAB Jun 08 '16 at 16:13

An easy userspace solution is to mount a drive using ImDisk, to mount a raw drive use the path \\.\PhysicalDriveN where N is the hard drive number in windows.
