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 have an NTFS partition. The idea is I can use this for data on either Ubuntu Mate or Windows 10 dual boot. It worked fine when I first installed Mate, but recently I no longer have the delete option when I right-click on a file or folder. The delete key does nothing. I also can't paste into the partition (Paste greyed out). It's as if the whole partition is read-only. In Gparted, the partition is marked with a key. Does this mean anything? I'm not aware of having changed anything, however, Windows recently did a big update - have they hijacked my drive?  I've read related posts, but people speak of returned errors - I have no errors, just nothing happens. Also, suggested solutions seem far too technical for what must surely be a simple tick-a-box fix!  Please note - for me the Terminal is where I get off a train and Sudo sounds like a Japanese noodle dish. ;) GUI's preferred if possible! Thanks for your patient help!

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 ran these commands:  VBoxManage clonehd d6b9f0a5-98df-48ca-83c8-91a0809ec349 --format RAW Debian.raw sudo dd if=~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/Debian.raw of=/dev/sda5   When I try to mount the partition, I get this complaint:  EXT4-fs (sda5): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem   Now I know that the VM had an ext4 partition. What did I do wrong?

I am using an xps 13 9365, which was data wiped from bios by a friend who then gave it to me thinking it was dead. I tried booting with a USB (current LTS distro (18.04 or similar)) boot disk and got into the language selection / setup menu. By using the F6 option I selected noapic. In bios sata is set to raid and legacy the secure boot option is off.   But when I try to install I get kicked into a tiny font window with the following message  (initramfs) mount: Mounting /cow on root failed: Invalid argument overlay mount failed  Any ideas?

/dev/sda contains GPT signatures indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it has a fake msdos partition table as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted? Is this a GPT partition table?  So, that's the error message and this is during my first OS install of Ubuntu. Can close the message box. Can't click yes and can't click no. What do I do?

I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 and I can't mount my exFAT HDD.  I get the following error:  Unable to access “SeagateHDD” Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/me/SeagateHDD: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/me/SeagateHDD"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: stdout: `FUSE exfat 1.0.1 ' stderr: `ERROR: `Operating Systems' has invalid checksum (0x281c != 0x2450). '   I installed exfat-utils and exfat-fuse using apt-get but no luck. I also tried the repository ppa:relan/exfat but I got:  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  fuse-exfat : Depends: fuse-utils (&gt;= 2.7) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.   Can anybody give me a hint? All my backed up data is on that HDD.  EDIT:  The output of $ sudo apt-cache policy exfat-fuse is:  exfat-fuse:   Installed: (none)   Candidate: 1.0.1-1   Version table:      1.0.1-1 0         500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/relan/exfat/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages   Tried it on a Linux Mint and had the same problem. Also tried mounting it on a Mac and it worked perfectly so the data is not corrupted.  EDIT2:  It appears it was a problem with my HDD which apparently I unplugged from the USB port without unmounting and it had a checksum error. What I did was I plugged it on my Mac and it automatically did a fsck_exfat disk check which fixed the problem and I could load it on Ubuntu as well. I think a similar thing could be achieved on Ubuntu as well, but I don't know which tools to use to do so.

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.

Friend of mine dropped a HDD on the floor and every since the HDD won't mount when connected. It just makes this spinning noise inside for about two rounds and then it goes quiet. Obviously, he wants to salvage the data but I said to him I'll see what I can do knowing the chance of recovery is pretty slim with HDD that won't mount. Was I right about this ? Is there anything I can try I may not know about ? I tried to run gparted on it as I know gparted can detect disks that aren't mounted but connected. But no luck.

I replaced a buggy Windows Vista installation with Ubuntu. All works fine except that the main HD where I had all my files are now inaccessible. Here is the error message I get:   Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: 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   Is it necessarily a hardware problem? If not, is there a way to repair the HD from Ubuntu?

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.

My Macbook (Snow Leopard OS) was giving me the rainbow wheel of death so I tried booting into safe mode and repairing the disk, with no luck. So I decided to pull the drive out and plug it into my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop with a SATA to USB cable to recover some data before reinstalling the OS. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to mount the drive. I have installed hfsplus hfsprogs and hfsutils and run the following command.  sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdd1 /mnt/"AppleMount"   Which gives me this error.  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so   Running dmesg tells me this.

I have a Windows HDD attached to an external docking bay on my Ubuntu System, but the HDD brings up an error message:     Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.   Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not permitted   The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows   properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or   mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.   For example type on the command line:           mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda5 /media/92441EC8441EAF4B      I am at a loss for exactly how to remove the hiberfile, or even mount it as read-only or read-write. I tried directly copy and pasting that exact command into my terminal, but it said:  mount:only root can do that   I do not know what to do at this point. I do need to get the information off of this drive, but I do not have a computer to put it in. Does anyone know what I should do from here?
