I am having a dual boot system. I can read files from the Windows partition in Linux but can't write to it. It's showing

destination is read only

How can I solve this?

You can find your answer here.

Ubuntu mounts external ntfs drive as read-only?

  1. Ensure you have fastboot disabled

  2. Ensure you have ntfs-3g installed

    sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
    
  3. Remount the windows partition

    Find Windows partition

    lsblk -f 
    

    Mount Windows partition

    sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda# /mnt/windows
