In Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, I cannot mount my NTFS drive. I have turned off fast startup/shutdown in windows, only to be faced with this error regardless of what I do -
Error mounting /dev/sdb2 at /media/eric/Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS amd64: Command-line mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb2" "/media/eric/Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS amd64"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': 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.
I'm not sure what to do at this point, as $ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb2
yields
$ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb2 Mounting volume... Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. FAILED Attempting to correct errors... Processing $MFT and $MFTMirr... Reading $MFT... OK Reading $MFTMirr... OK Comparing $MFTMirr to $MFT... OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. Setting required flags on partition... OK Going to empty the journal ($LogFile)... OK Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Remount failed: Operation not permitted
Is this a windows problem, or an Ubuntu one?
Even restarting windows or using
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -f -s -t 00
Doesn't yield positive results.
powercfg /h off
as administrator in windows and see if solves the issue?
