Hi
I just installed Mint as a Dual boot, and want to access some of my windows 10 folders from the Mint desktop (music, documents etc)
But I fails to mount. It says there is some error or Windows is in hibernation mode.
Any idea?
Thanks
SOLVED
Have to restart windows the nboot into linux. If I shut down the problem happens

Yep, if you hibernate Windows, it "locks" that hard drive so that nothing else can access it. Disable hibernate.
