I Used the "install ubuntu alongside windows boot manager" option to download ubuntu yesterday (after hours of confusion from reading about manually adding partitions).

I think I allowed 65GB (using the slider during installation) for Ubuntu and the rest for Windows. (I have 300GB usable HDD space).

After it finished installing, I tried booting in to each OS and they worked perfectly. The problem is, I am unable to see any of my Windows files and documents from Ubuntu.

When I click that Hard drive icon on Ubuntu, I get this:

Error mounting /dev/sda4 at /media/atlanta-thinkpad/BED68EB6D68E6F09: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sda4" "/media/atlanta-thinkpad/BED68EB6D68E6F09"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda4': 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.

Edited:

I can now see the ubuntu partitions after diabling fast startup in windows, but the partitions are empty.

  • If you read the message and follow the instruction, you will be able to mount the partition. Additionally, add the result of lsblkid. – davidbaumann Nov 29 '15 at 21:05
  • Thanks, I disabled fast startup in windows and now I can see the Ubuntu partitions. The problem is those partitions show as having 100% free space available. The only partition that doesn't have 100% free space is the C drive with my windows OS on it. – LinuxLenovo Nov 29 '15 at 21:28

If you want to "see" (mount) the windows disk on Ubuntu, just follow the instructions you got:

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.

If tou want to mount your ext3/4 linux partitions on windows, I googled that for you
