I tried the remove-hiberfile option but got Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sdc2': 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.

If you are not afraid of losing the hibernated data, your command is: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdxy /mnt

| Apr 18, 2018 at 3:55 | comment | added | Owen | Other than losing all your hibernated data, is there anything particularly risky about deleting the hibernation file? | |
| Mar 9, 2018 at 15:18 | comment | added | Llamageddon | I noticed that this applies not just to the system partition, but to all NTFS volumes I've had mounted in Windows. Can I mount those in RW mode, or is this whole thing a crucial precaution for every volume Windows had mounted? | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 1:40 | comment | added | Caleb Stanford | I have followed all of these steps before, and just recently good old Windoze reverted these settings back to turning on fast startup. Unbelievable and frustrating. | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 16:03 | comment | added | alhelal | @adempewolff I do this for get a file that is located in window's desktop. I need nothing else of window's partition and my windows is damaged and it is not loaded. | |

@adempewolff I like your answer. In my case sudo mount -t -ntfs-3g -o r o /dev/sda2 /media/ubuntu/5C04866104863DD0/ results mount: unknown filesystem type -ntfs-3g. I am trying in live CD.

| Dec 31, 2014 at 0:31 | comment | added | Bill The Ape | @arielnmz I solved the problem by performing one more step (in addition to the above): powercfg /h off | |
| Dec 30, 2014 at 4:16 | comment | added | Bill The Ape | I am having the same exact problem as @arielnmz . I disabled "fast boot" according to the "Solution (only for Windows 8)", yet I still cannot mount it R/W in Ubuntu 14. I can mount it RO but not RW. Any idea why this works for others but not for me? | |

mount ro is applicable irrespective of the windows version
|
| Dec 4, 2014 at 0:08 | comment | added | arielnmz | I have the "fast boot" option disabled and I always boot to Fedora by rebooting windows yet it still says that "it's in an unsafe state" is there anything else to do? | |
| May 8, 2014 at 18:06 | comment | added | Rmano |
There is this link tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/#fastrestart that could be useful --- it suggests issuing the command powercfg /h off on Windows.

| Aug 24, 2013 at 18:59 | comment | added | Yuri Ghensev | None of these works for me. The only I am able to mount Win 8 partition on ubuntu is to press "restart" in windows, then boot ubuntu. | |
