<SOLVED> Refuses to mnt ntfs because Windows hibernating (it shouldn't)

[erw1]

I recently installed a dual boot and remember being able to access Window's drive somewhere in (/run/media/). Not anymore. It should mount automatically, it doesn't. Mounting it manually also fails, for the reason stated in the title, which conflicts with actual events, that is, I shut down, not hibernated, Windows, before loading Linux. I repeated the experiment twice, to be sure.

This should fix it:

Boot up Windows and enter Windows Disk Management.
Open Power Options and select "Choose what the power button does".
On the next screen, find "Change settings that are currently unavailable"(in blue). Click it, and under "Shutdown Settings", uncheck the box for "Turn on Fast Startup".
If you find the setting "Hibernate" is checked, uncheck it also.
Then click "Apply".
After those are disabled, be sure to use Shut Down to exit Windows. If you use Restart instead, it will STILL enable hibernation.

there is also a reasonable probability that every time windows is updated,
- that it's settings will again be reset, to default values.
this often affects the web browser settings too, as well as your privacy settings.

Thanks, will try that out and give feedback.

In Windows.

Type msconfig in the search box, go to the boot tab and turn off all the fast/secure boot settings.

Open command prompt CMD and run

Code: Select all

shutdown /s /f /t 0

Hibernate etc should now be off, as explained Windows is a PAIN for reverting settings... I always shut it down now on a dual boot system with that command.

Oh and don't create a fstab edit to mount a windows drive or your Linux system may not boot at all.

It would help if you got the mount command right. You can have...
mount -r /dev/sda2 ntfs ### Mount the file system in /dev/sda2 read-only on folder ntfs
mount -o ro /dev/sda2 ntfs ### Mount the file system in /dev/sda2 read-only on folder ntfs
...but certainly not...
"mount -ro /dev/sda2 ntfs"

Yes, this fix worked, thanks.

Thanks for clarifying.
