Can't mount NTFS partition with write permissions [duplicate]
If the NTFS drives are mounting as read-only, its probably because Ubuntu thinks their filesystems are unclean, probably due to hibernation, or a damaged file system. Do this:
in Windows
- boot into Windows
- open the Power control panel
- choose
change what the power buttons do
- choose
change options that are unavailable
- uncheck
fast startup
- close the Power control panel
- open an administrative command prompt window
- type
powercfg /h off
- type
chkdsk /f c:
- approve to run chkdsk at next reboot
- type
chkdsk /f x:
(replacing "x" with drive letters of other visible NTFS partitions) - reboot into Windows to let chkdsk run on drive C:
Using rw
, permissions
, umask=0022
, user
, exec
, uid=1000
, and gid=1000
seems excessive.
The Official Documentation is pretty straight forward.
Something like this should work for your purposes:
