The system also had hibernate off, and the ntfs-3g functions like force, recover, and remove_hiberfile had no effect. My guess is attached drives must not get a good treament even when windows is ended with "shutdown /p" | |

Added a warning about the possibility of filesystem corruption or Windows not booting, as mentioned by commenters.

Clarity. Removed extra note from last edit.

| Mar 27, 2016 at 21:20 | comment | added | Pierre Thibault | It worked for me. But GParted was not able to mount after the fix. I added back the NTFS partition in /etc/fstab (I removed it because I was not able to boot with it). I rebooted and the partition mounted without problem. | |

Note that you should umount /dev/XY before running ntfsfix.

I removed what didn't work for me. /dev/XY works fine. Thanks.

| Jan 4, 2015 at 4:24 | comment | added | psusi | You do NOT want to do this. Doing so will result in the filesystem being corrupted when you resume your hibernated windows session. | |

| Dec 4, 2014 at 16:30 | comment | added | Marco Lackovic | I tried that but it stills returns "Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Remount failed: Operation not permitted" | |
| Nov 17, 2014 at 11:16 | comment | added | Jendas | A little bit of explanation would be really nice :-) Certainly there is man page, but since you wrote it here, it would be good to further improve it but explaining what this command does. | |
