Cannot access windows partition from ubuntu [duplicate]

Solution 1:

The solution I found that worked was a program called ntfsfix.

Install ntfs-3g with:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

Then run the ntfsfix command on your NTFS partition.

For example:

ntfsfix /dev/sda4

Solution 2:

This seems to be an issue with windows 10. In windows 10 the kernel and the drivers hibernate by default even when you shutdown the system. To disable this, do the following.

  • Open control panel.(win key + r. Type control and hit enter)

  • While in icons view, click on System and Security then power options.

  • Click on Choose what the power buttons do on the Left hand side.

  • Uncheck turn on fast startup. (you may need to press change settings that are currently unavailable before this)

  • Click on save changes.
