  • Great solution. Many thanks. It worked for me on an ancient eMachines E442 which got accidentally trashed on shutdown. +1

    I believe there is no need to create a separate mounting script in /etc/rc.local. A single line in /etc/fstab did the trick for me: /dev/sdaX /media/[mount-folder] ntfs-3g nofail,nodev,errors=remount-ro 0 0. I initially assumed errors=remount-ro is what is automatically mounting the drive as readonly if Windows is hibernated. But it also works without that option as tested on Linux Kernel 5.3+ Commented Jul 4, 2020 at 11:39
