I apologize if this is a duplicate - I searched the forums as well other sites for answers but without success...
I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a Win 10 VAIO laptop, but I can't access the main partition, with the following error message:
Error mounting /dev/sda5 at /media/yoni/CC1C14161C13FA62: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda5" "/media/yoni/CC1C14161C13FA62"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount option.
I already did the following:
- Disabled both fast boot and secure boot and tried shutting down and restarting multiple times.
- Tried shutting down using
run
withshutdown /s /f /t 0
. - In cmd tried
powercfg /h off
as suggested here but ran into an error, I'm not sure why but maybe it only works on Win 8. Ran
ntfsfix /dev/sda5
in terminal, but got the following error:Mounting volume... Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. FAILED Attempting to correct errors... Processing $MFT and $MFTMirr... Reading $MFT... OK Reading $MFTMirr... OK Comparing $MFTMirr to $MFT... OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. Setting required flags on partition... OK Going to empty the journal ($LogFile)... OK Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Remount failed: Operation not permitted
I also have another common problem that might be related: Windows boot loader overrides Ubuntu boot loader. I'm currently working around it by typing
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
in cmd before shutting down from windows whenever I want to load Ubuntu. I'll also try this suggestion, but for the moment I'm only mentioning this in case it can somehow be related.
Thanks a lot for any help!
