So I just dual boot the latest version of Ubuntu 23.04 with Windows 10

And I have a total of 4 partitions 1 for Windows 2 other and 1 for Ubuntu I can't edit files on the two other 2 partitions like delete or moving something there from my Ubuntu OS

enter image description here

Please tell me if is there any solution to this or I just have to open my Windows OS in order to edit files in these partitions

Result of sudo -l parted

    Read man mount mount.ntfs-3g ntfsfix. Try sudo mount -o remount,rw _device_ _mountpoint_. The NTFS volumes must be mounted Read/Write. BTW, you did boot into Windows and do a full Windows shutdown, right? – waltinator Apr 23 '23 at 23:35

    Note that NTFS partition permissions cannot be changed. Windows does not support permissions. You set a default set of permissions with the mount command or if permanent drive, the line in fstab or default settings from an auto mount. – oldfred Apr 24 '23 at 03:10
  • @waltinator not working and yes i did shutdown windows correctly – imposter Apr 24 '23 at 10:48

    Not sure what issue now is? If Windows fast start up has not set hibernation flag, if NTFS does not need chkdsk from Windows, the Linux NTFS driver works well with NTFS partitions. Double check settings again. And re-review links in first comment on how to shut down Windows. Also if old system and Windows is slow, you may be better off with a light weight flavor of Ubuntu. https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours Light weight flavors: Lubuntu, xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Budgie I use Kubuntu which is a mid-weight flavor. – oldfred Apr 24 '23 at 13:50
  • @oldfred I don't think this is about any of the issues you mentioned above. Because i have done everything on Windows 10 like chkdsk etc and i really dont think that this is a distro problem one more thing is that i can watch videos that are oin that partition even copy from them but i cant paste anything there or delete anything there that is the real problem mounting is not an issue

    Please help me if you have any solution

    How are you mounting it? Read only is typically the only way Linux NTFS driver will mount NTFS if hibernation flag is set, which fast startup also sets. Post in question above the one line from this that is the NTFS mount. mount. You can unmount with umount command & try manual mount.

  • @oldfred i have a problem i followed this and the parttion just dissapear i cant no longer see it in the other location but the funny thing is that one other partition which i didnt use the command for now i can delete things from there but my dev/sda5 i cant no longer see please help – imposter Apr 25 '23 at 14:17
  • When you unmount it, then it will disappear until you remount it. Post the mount command lines of only thel NTFS partitions. And post sudo parted -l Are you mounting with fstab or manually by clicking in file browser? – oldfred Apr 25 '23 at 14:21
  • mounting it with manually clicling on file browser @oldfred – imposter Apr 25 '23 at 14:22
  • @oldfred please see edit i also added disks screenshot of dev/sda5 – imposter Apr 25 '23 at 14:30
  • After clicking on partition, in terminal run mount and post just the lines for mount of your NTFS partitions. – oldfred Apr 25 '23 at 17:09
  • @oldfred Thank man/woman you solved my problem so ubuntu created a mnt folder on ubuntu parttion from where i can access my dev/sda5 after mounting it and can also edit files Thanks you very much – imposter Apr 25 '23 at 18:45

    What actually worked? And if internal drives better to add to fstab, so on every reboot it is automatically restore. Many posts on example fstab entries for NTFS partitions. – oldfred Apr 25 '23 at 20:13
