Adding them should be possible with something like:
copy f:file1 /b + f:file2 /b out.raw /b
( /b ) means binary not text.
And yes you could use cygwin as well (which is not linux)
cat /cygdrive/f/file1 /cygdrive/f/file2 ... > out.raw
then after that:
VBoxManage convertfromraw out.raw newname.vdi --format VDI --variant Standard
Should do the trick.

My way: "You live as long as you learn".
Ok, I created the virtual harddisk as explained but I get the following error when I try to boot the vm:
A disk read error occurred.
Insert a system diskette and restart the system.
When I boot with Knoppix Live-CD I can see all partitions and all files. All seems to be ok. I tried it also with a BartPE-CD and can access the drives c, d, e,f and g without problems.
I think I give it up! I have already spend so many hours to get this system working....

I don't want a new installation of NT (see my earlier posts). I want to virtualize an existing NT installation. But I don't understand what you have exactly done. What do you mean with 'via a working w95'? w95 as host and NT as guest system?
Sorry, but I still don't understand what you mean. So, you have a w95 as vm and install Windows NT over it? Or do you upgrade from w95 to Windows NT? How do you perform the p2v conversion?
I guess that I have problems to convert my NT installation to a vm because I have a domain account on it but no domain server available. In fact this shouldn't be a problem (the domain account works fine on my physical pc without a (physical) domain server).
Upgrade from w95 to NT which does nuke w95. You could use ntbackup to transfer P to an existing V, mostly I find it much easier to restore a P machine into an already running V, just don't overwrite system files.
