I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop, and I had a problem when I want to mount a hard drive due to windows 8 hibernation.  The problem is that when I was partitioning my hard drive I formated the drive which contained Windows 8 without shutting down Windows, I only did a hibernation, so now I can't resume and shutdown Windows fully.  Now I can only mount my hard drive as read-only.  How can I solve this problem ??

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.

I am trying to install a fresh version of Ubuntu in my computer without touching the windows 10 dual boot! In the Installation Type, the first option seems exactly what i wanted to do.  My question is, is this feature is safe to use? because i don't want to lose any windows files and other NTFS partitions on the hard-disk. Please eliminate my confusion. Note as that i dont need any files or media which are in the ubuntu partition, Thanks.

Sorry if this question is already solved.  I changed my Operating System, from Windows to Linux Ubuntu 13.04.   I have 2 partitions:   C: (system) and  M: It's NTFS; there I have my information, music, photos. When I want to access the Disk to use the information, I can't get past this error:   Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/love/Mis Archiivos: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda2" "/media/love/Mis Archiivos"' 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.    Clarification: I don't have 2 OSes. I only have Linux installed.

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 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.

Hey i have dual boot windows and Ubuntu. When i installed ubuntu all Local Disks worked well but when some time past i can not access to local disk D. I have very important files there. I cant access to windows too it is broken. When i try to mount local disk D it shows me the error:     Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sda3: Command-line `mount   "/mnt/94EE82ACEE8285E8"' exited with non-zero exit status 13:   ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error Failed to   calculate free MFT records: Input/output error NTFS is either   inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a   SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows   then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very   important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it   and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.   /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation   for more details.   Can i mount local disk somehow from Ubuntu?

Thus is a picture of both of my hard-drives:    My C Drive and my D drive. I want to put Ubuntu onto my D Drive. Now my question here is if i do install onto my D Drive then how should I do it in order to retain use of the drive. I intend to partition about 60 gigs from it. Now after doing that I should still have about 830 gigs left. I want to still be able to use that in Windows. So how and will I be able to retain use of the drive after Installing? I have installed once before and I believe i did it wrong because not only could Windows not recognize my D drive but I also lost all the data on it.   My computer is a Lenovo Y700 It is a UEFI (I believe i got that right).

I have both Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Windows 10 Pro installed and I use them both very often.  Sometimes, when using Ubuntu, I can see and use Windows partitions also. But sometimes, I cannot. I dont know why?  Ubuntu gives the error:  Error mounting /dev/sda5 at /media/mani/0AC217250AC21725:   Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sda5" "/media/mani/0AC217250AC21725"' 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/sda5': 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   Although I have shut it down many times, it still gives me this error. Please help so that I can use the two operating systems easily.

Can I install Ubuntu without formatting any partitions on my hard drive?  I am already running Windows 7 and I want to install Ubuntu as well without formatting any of the partitions I have already created.

I'm getting a PC with Windows and I want to dual boot using Ubuntu as my primary OS.  I want to create a Home partition to store all my files and hopefully be able to access them on Windows 7 without having to manually mount the partition or anything.  I want to know what kind of partition should I create and if I can share my Home partition to simplify matters.  Thanks

I use Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows7 dual boot with Ubuntu as my primary OS.  Every time I need to access a document I need to mount the respective drive, though this is not at all tiresome, still, is there any way that drives becomes automatically mounted when I login?

Windows allows the  of certain files or folders. I currently have a Windows folder that is set to "encrypt contents to secure data". (The Windows partition is NTFS.)  If I mount this drive under Linux, is there anyway to decrypt the contents of the directory so that I can read the files without having to reboot into Windows?

I am an infrequent Ubuntu / Linux user, only use it in case of major disaster (in this case Ransom-ware nuclear, but that's another story).  So i booted up another laptop using Ubuntu from a USB-drive; inserted my external ntfs drive, and it gets recognized automatically, but if i try to create a new folder / drive anywhere, the "file manager" interface just closes down, and i have to launch it again (try again, rinse and repeat).  This leads me to guess my ext.drive was mounted in read-only mode by default.  Q1. How / where can i verify it is mounted in read-only mode?  Q2. What's the best way to make it mount in read-write mode?

I have a formatted 55GB partition as NTFS, the other part of the hard disk has Windows 7.  Is NTFS the right format for Ubuntu? If not how should I format it and with what format?  Once I finish preparing the partition, how do I install Ubuntu on that partition? I'm not sure how to set up dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows.

Is it possible to install Windows OS to plug and play storage devices such as external hard drives, HDD enclosures (with SATA hard drives), USB flashdrives and the likes? What OS's? And if it's possible, can I boot on it after the installation/formatting?  I've read someone has tried this already using Windows XP but failed since XP reinitializes all attached USB devices before loading OS, thus disabling the External HDD that is attached via USB port.  What about other Windows OS: on Windows 7 or 8.... or Windows 10?  I'm asking this because I'm planning to create a portable OS. When I'm at my house, when I go to my grandmother's, or to a friend's place: I just simple plug that portable storage device, change the boot priority, and turn on the system and ta-da! I will only see one environment every time.
