I tried to wipe clean my NTFS Windows hard drive, to complete my transfer to Ubuntu. However, using the ntfs-3g command resulted in:
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
Please keep in mind that I DO NOT WANT TO READ-ONLY, I want to wipe it clean and use it for storage.
$ sudo apt-get install gparted
and wipe and recreate whatever partitions you want. Theunsafe
message means that you are using fast boot. Just turn it off, or use windows' advanced booting options for a complete shutdown.
