Unable to Mount C Drive (could mount other NTFS drives)

Question

My problem is a little different than usual. I'm unable to mount just one of the NTFS drives. C:\ drive, which contains windows. I can perfectly mount other NTFS drives in the same hard disk. Previously I could mount all the drives including C drive.

I disabled fast startup. Booted into Ubuntu by restarting the PC. I've also lifted the default security for C drive in windows. I'm clue less as to what to do now. please help.

There is no error displayed when I try to mount C drive, just nothing happens.

when I try to run 'sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda4' I get the following.

Mounting volume... Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.

but the windows is not hibernated.

@MostafaAhangarha I did not hibernate or fast start, and I'm still getting this error. — Abhijith, Mar 13 '16 at 19:43
Have you disabled fast start in Windows? If yes, shutdown your windows by this command in CMD: shutdown /s — Mostafa Ahangarha, Mar 14 '16 at 06:33
@MostafaAhangarha I did try 'shutdown /s' . Nothing is working. — Abhijith, Mar 24 '16 at 19:02
If you have disabled fast start and still you face with this problem, you need to disable hibernate in Windows. I think the instruction is in that question too. If you cannot find, let me know — Mostafa Ahangarha, Mar 25 '16 at 05:32
