Whenever I boot Ubuntu, I get a message that it cannot mount my windows partition, and I can choose to either wait, skip or manually mount.  When I try to enter my Windows partition through Nautilus I get a message saying that this partition is hibernated and that I need to enter the file system and properly close it, something I have done with no problem so I don't know why this happens.    Here's my partition table, if any more data is needed please let me know.

How can I make hibernate my desktop in UEFI with Secure boot on.  I used command "sudo pm-hibernate" to make hibernate my desktop but my machine did nothing (my desktop is booted up on UEFI with Secure boot on). But, if I boot my desktop on UEFI with Secure boot off, Hibernation is normal.  Sorry for my English, thanks,

I just shut down Windows and rebooted into Linux. When I try to enter the Windows partition it says . This means that Windows 10 only hibernates instead of shutting down. How do I actually shut down?

I'm using Xubuntu 14.04 64 bit. I know that question been asked a billion times, but all of them consist of editing following file:  /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla   That file does not exist on my system. I tried com.xubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla but doesn't exist either, locate command doesn't find it.

I have an X-series Asus laptop which I just bough about a month ago. I want to dualboot Ubuntu - Windows.  I can easily access LiveUSB with both UEFI enabled and disabled. I heard that there were problems with UEFI, so I disabled it. After I've installed the system I couldn't access it. It just boots to Windows straight.  Another unusual thing, that never happened to me before was that the partition editor wanted me to create a BIOS reserved area, which I did, but not at the beginning of the table.  Any ideas how to access the Ubuntu partition?  As far as I can guess both Windows and Ubuntu have to be both of the same type of boot, either Legacy or EFI. This is not the case of what I have now. So, if I reinstall Ubuntu in UEFI mode that correlates with my Windows type, will I then be able to boot into it?  I have a constraint, my laptop doesn't have a CD ROM, so I cannot reinstall WIndows, nor can I move around the Windows recovery partition.  This is the boot-repair report :    SOLUTION  I've enabled UEFI in BIOS, and reinstalled Ubuntu with UEFI enabled. It works fine now, although if I select Windows from the GRUB menu, it doesn't work. But I can live with that, since I can just select Windows boot from the BIOS instead.

I have dual booted Ubuntu with Windows 7. I wanted to uninstall Ubuntu. So as per an answer for one of the related questions on this site I did the following:   Deleted the Ubuntu Partition through Windows. As per the answer now I was supposed to boot Windows from USB &amp; then do "repair startup".   But Windows could not find any problem hence nothing was done. So when my laptop booted normally (i.e. from HDD) it was showing some error like GRUB:/ unknown file system. I dont remember the exact words but it was something like this. Thus I couldn't boot windows neither Ubuntu. So again I had to install Ubuntu.  But now my question is how do I remove Ubuntu so that my laptop returns to the previous state of installing Ubuntu?  UPDATE: Seems that it wasnt on this site. My mistake :P .Here is the link

I have a Windows 8 system and was about to install Ubuntu 14.04 in dual boot mode, when I heard about Windows 10 releasing. Now that the Windows 10 has rolled out, I would like to know whether doing the same steps as for Windows 8 would install it. I would wait until somebody else has tried it out and posted it on the internet, but I'm somewhat out of time to wait. Will it be risky trying it out so soon, or does anyone know about what would work?

My Windows 7 (x86, Pro) laptop no longer hibernates. When I tell it via power button or "shutdown /h /f" it fades out the screen to black, but doesn't do anything else. Doesn't even go into a sleep state. Hitting a key pops the screen back on.  I've tried disabling and reenabling hibernation to clear the hiberfil.sys, but it makes no difference. If hibernation is disabled, sleep works fine.  This problem started happening immediately after swapping hard drives. I used Ghost 14 to restore a backup to a new drive then plugged it in. Windows wouldn't boot (BOOTMGR problem) so I ran a repair from the Win7 disc. It's been working fine since, aside from inability to hibernate.  Nothing is showing up in the event log that seems new or relevant.  Any ideas on how I can diagnose or resolve this?

I have Windows and Linux installed on SSD, and then, I have second HDD with data. There is no Windows installation on it, just NTFS partition with data (and second partition Lenovo Recovery, but that's all and I don't need it). When I try to open it in Linux, I get folowing error:  Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/adam/Data: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda2" "/media/adam/Data"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option.   But there couldn't be any hiberfile, as there is no Windows installation on this drive. I need to have read and also write permission on this drive. How could I do it? Another thing I noticed is that the partition has msftdata flag, but when I open gparted and choose "Manage flags" and remove it, it doesn't remove. How to mount the partition in write mode? Thanks.  EDIT: This is not duplicate of  as there are no Windows or hiberfile.

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 using WUBI and after installation when it booted it showed an error:   Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /.    There were three options:   press [I] to ignore, press [S] to skip mounting and press [M] to mount manually.    After I pressed I, it showed /tmp could not be mounted and my Ubuntu isn't booting.   Can anybody please guide me to how to solve this problem?

I have dual OS (Windows 8 and Ubuntu), when I using Ubuntu, Windows partition Disks are automatically mounted in Explorer. I need to unmount permanently on every boot or permanently. I tried this in Gparted but when reboot it again mounted. Kindly Share your views.

I'm trying without success to install Ubuntu 14.04 on my Toshiba Portege.   I want to remove Windows 7 and I tried with the automatic partitioning from the USB installer (I found that compared to previous Ubuntu's version it is getting more complicated).   When it finally started installing (first time without any bar of progress, very annoying, then I shut down and tried again and the progress was shown), it is stack on   Creating ext4 file system for / in partition #2 of SCI1 (0,0,0) (sda)   and in the details there are many errors like  /usr/lib/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_components/nmwidgets.py:18: Source ID 86689 was not found when attempting to remove it Glib.source_remove(self.timeout).   I let it run all the night but it is still there.  I also got the error:  The attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in SCSI2 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) at /boot/efi failed You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu.

I have a mac that is running a dual boot with OSX and Ubuntu. I am using rEFIT. I just updated my OSX to the new OSX Mavericks, but when i restarted my computer and tried to enter Ubuntu from rEFIT I just got an error message saying error: unknown filesystem.  How can I solve this? Where is the problem, is it GRUB or rEFIT?

I have enabled fast boot in my copy of Windows 8 but I would like to be able to specifically instruct Windows not to perform a "fast shutdown" whenever I want (without disabling fast boot altogether).  I need to be able to do this because I dual-boot Ubuntu and therefore can't mount an NTFS partition as read/write if Windows has performed a "fast shutdown". (Well okay, I can force the partition to be mounted read/write, but then I could run into data loss/corruption problems.)

I have Windows 7 on my HP laptop and I want to install Ubuntu.  I tried to shrink my boot and system partition, it does not allow me to shrink the partition more than 97 MB. Is it necessary to delete the recovery partition?   I want to know how to put this recovery on a CD or DVD to keep it and not to lose it.
