When i boot onto kubuntu , sometimes i want to access files from (Windows drive) so then i end up rebooting again to Windows and moving files to another drive which is accessible from kubuntu. Is there any other way ,without crashing Windows files?

1See this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145902/unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation look at the windows 8 / 10 section. After doing that, you can access the windows disk from the kubuntu file manager (it should be listed on the left). – Jonas Czech Feb 09 '17 at 11:13

Two part answer.
Part #1
Although not recommended, you can directly get to files on your Windows C: drive by mounting that partition in Nautilus (by clicking on the disk icon in the Unity launcher). You need to properly prepare Windows for this to happen.
You'll need to do this in Windows:
- open the Power control panel
- click on
change what the power buttons do - click on
change options that are unavailable - uncheck
fast start - close the Power control panel
- open an administrative command prompt window
- type
powercfg /h off(turns off hibernation) - type
chkdsk /f c: - approve that chkdsk runs at next boot time
- reboot Windows
Part #2
A better way is to create a NTFS partition on your hard disk that can be shared in both Windows and Ubuntu. This NTFS partition can be auto-mounted in Ubuntu by editing /etc/fstab and adding lines similar to this:
# shared ntfs disk
UUID=0C0F93CE58153D42 /media/your_username/Shared_Data ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
changing the UUID to the correct value.

@freeezer98 after the chkdsk command, it'll say that, and ask for confirmation to run chkdsk at next reboot time. That's why I have the last two steps in Part #1. – heynnema Feb 09 '17 at 15:31

@freeezer98 Accepting an answer doesn't depend on reputation. It's not the same as voting. – Feb 10 '17 at 03:26
