I have installed my Ubuntu 18.10 on a SSD and I also have a another drive which is formatted as NTFS file system. When I click on mount it mounts that drive but I am only able to see the files. I can't seem to write into it.  I am not dual booting. I only have Ubuntu installed as a Operating System.  Can anyone please help me on how to setup my NTFS drive to auto mount at startup with Read and Write Access?

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 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.

I have two partitions that I want to mount on startup: /dev/sda3   /mnt/devel  ext4    defaults    0   2 /dev/sda2   /mnt/excess ntfs    defaults    0   2  The ext4 partition mounts fine (owned by me, writable only by me), but the NTFS mounts owned by root with R\W permission for all.

I have access to a cifs network drive. When I mount it under my OSX machine, I can read and write from and to it.   When I mount the drive in ubuntu, using:  sudo mount -t cifs -o username=${USER},password=${PASSWORD} //server-address/folder /mount/path/on/ubuntu   I am not able to write to the network drive, but I can read from it. I have checked the permissions and owner of the mount folder, they look like:  4.0K drwxr-xr-x  4 root root    0 Nov 12  2010 Mounted_folder   I cannot change the owner, because I get the error:  chown: changing ownership of `/Volumes/Mounted_folder': Not a directory   When I descend deeper into the network drive, and change the ownership there, I get the error that I have no permission to change the folder´s owner.  What should I do to activate my write permission?

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.

Not sure if I have come to the right place with the right problem but I don't really have much option as I have not found even a close solution to my problems in any other website during my tireless search times in the internet. So, here it goes-------  I have recently installed solaris 11. The main problem I am facing at the moment is that the NTFS windows HD partitions are not appearing in solaris file system, which was not the case when I used ubuntu. Every single file on my HD was exposed to me when I was in ubuntu.  I installed something called ntfs -g drive but I think I am not using it correctly as most of the time I am copying and pasting commands because I do not have sufficient knowledge to write them myself.  Any assistance in this matter?  ** Yeah I am talking about the exact same ntfs -3g. But how can I see the windows HD partitions in solaris?

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.

First, the situation:  I've got a Linux computer with two eSATA drive bays that accept removable SSD drives.  I'm trying to write a little GUI application that makes it easier for the user to mount/unmount/format/backup/etc the drives that he puts into these bays.  It all mostly works.  One small problem, however, is that I don't know how to find out any information about what's on the inserted drive(s) until after the drives have been successfully mounted.    So, for example, if the user inserts a drive that I can't mount (e.g. because it is unformatted, or formatted with an unexpected filesystem), all my app can say about it is "Drive failed to mount".  This isn't very satisfactory, because if the drive is unformatted, the user will probably want to format it... but if the drive contains data from an unrecognized filesystem, the user will probably NOT want to format it.... or at least, I want to be able to warn him that by doing so he'll be erasing potentially valuable data.  So my question is:  is there any method for querying some basic information (especially filesystem-type) from a drive that doesn't require that the drive already be mounted?  Or do I just have to try to mount it with various known filesystems until one of the mount attempts succeeds, and give a vague "be careful" message if none of them do?  In case it matters, the paths I use to mount the drives in the drive bays are:  /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-2:0:0:0 /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0

I have a new laptop which I am setting up as dual boot Windows/Linux.    I would like to access files from both Ubuntu and Windows 7.  Should I create a separate NTFS partition?

I have Windows and Arch Linux in dual with UEFI. I want to mount my another NTFS partition in Arch. I mounted the partition with mount /dev/sda5  /mnt/Apps command. Then added the output of genfstab -U /mnt/Apps in /etc/fstab file. The output is as follows:  UUID=01D158CC7C2A61A0 /mnt/Apps ntfs rw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0   But when I unmount and remount that partition all files and folders shows with root uid and gid and 0777 permission. I also tried with changing uid and gid to 1000 but same result. So, my question, what is the correct way to add NTFS partitions in fstab so that I can read &amp; write all file and folder both with normal user (1000:1000) and root (0:0)?

I am trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 alongside Windows XP.  When I am prompted where I want to install Ubuntu, the three options to select from are:   Install Ubuntu alongside Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Overwrite Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with Ubuntu Something else   When I selection option 1, by default Ubuntu Installer selects the 1TB external hard drive that I have connected to the computer.  There appears to be an option to select another hard drive, however, I cannot use it to change to another drive.  In other words, the drop down list does not work.  What I want to be able to do is to install Ubuntu on another (internal) 320GB hard drive that I have purchased for this very reason.  My problem here is that I am not certain how to partition it for Ubuntu using option 3.  I know that I will require a / partition and a /boot partition, however, I am not sure how much to allocate to each.  Furthermore, there appears to be more file systems to select from.  Which one do I use for each partition I create?  Also, the intended target drive is currently formatted with NTFS.  Do I need to manually delete and re-create the partition to ext2 before I am able to install Ubuntu?  FYI - My current configuration is as follows:  /dev/sda   /dev/sda1   fat16    32MB   /dev/sda2   ntfs    160GB /dev/sdb   /dev/sdb1   ntfs    320GB /dev/sdc   /dev/sdc5   fat32  1000GB   Note that the /dev/sda1 is the partition reserved for EISA (whatever that is), /dev/sda2 is the partition that contains the Windows XP Home Edition, /dev/sdb1 is the new internal hard drive that I intend to install Ubuntu, and /dev/sdc5 is the external drive which is used as a backup drive only.  For some reason, Windows XP uses this external drive to store temporary/configuration files for software that is installed on /dev/sd2.  Any help/advice would be appreciated.

I plugged in my external harddrive (which was formatted on my Mac into HFS+ journaled) to my Ubuntu desktop 9.04 64bit.  I am not able to get the drive to mount with write capability, how do I do that?  Right now all I'm getting is read access, I tried  sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdf2 /media/"Portable HD"   but that still gave me only read access...  ideas??

I cannot mount Windows 8 partition disk on Ubuntu 12.10.  My Windows 8 is installed on "C" partition, and I have another "D" partition.  I can easily mount "D" partition, see files and make changes on them. Actually I also have a problem with this: when I copy a file from ubuntu to "D", I cannot see this file on Windows 8.  My main problem is when I try to mount "C" partition I get this:     Unable to mount 121 GB Volume   Error mounting /dev/sda3 at /media/furkan/06DEC78FDEC77589: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda3" "/media/furkan/06DEC78FDEC77589"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.   Failed to mount '/dev/sda3': 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/sda3 /media/furkan/06DEC78FDEC77589

There are many questions on automatically mounting or problems encountered during mounting that I've read here. But none on how to manually mount a partition.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 with a 4GB flash drive, but my error that comes up is that my hard drive I'm trying to install on is in ext4. I need to format it to read NTFS. I can't seem to find any topics on how to format an active hard drive. I found a topic that explains how to move Ubuntu to a new drive, but it's a bit confusing to me.

I've recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, but I can't do anything with my 1.5TB external drive, and my 500GB because I don't have write permission. Are there any specific commands I can use in the terminal to set the read/write permissions?  The external is NTFS, and the 500GB is ext4.
