I have an internal hard drive formatted as NTFS as a shared storage space between Linux and Microsoft with a duel boot setup, but Linux says is a read only file system and refuses to let me use it.

Being root makes no difference. I can read the contents, but nothing else.

For me restarting the system has solved the issue. – learner Nov 05 '19 at 03:52

How did you mount the drive? Had the same issue once upon a time, and cannot remember what exactly what was the cause but they way I had mounted it was wrong. If you unmount it, then mount it by editing /etc/fstab your problems should hopefully resolve. – Smurfz87 Nov 07 '19 at 11:38
