I cannot write to /dev/sda6

Question

I have Ubuntu 17.04 on my Asus laptop.

After login I cannot write anything to /dev/sda6

It tells me that the disk is in read-only mode:

How can I fix it?

What is the result of ls -ld . when you are in this directory? — Romeo Ninov, Jun 27 '17 at 08:39
you cant access that partition because windows already mounted it, reset your laptop properly, since windows 8+, windows just suspends the disks when you click "shutdown" thats how they improved the rapid launch when turning on the computers, so go to windows and restart the computer dont shutdown — Egon Stetmann., Jun 27 '17 at 08:44

If the NTFS drives are mounting as read-only, its probably because Ubuntu thinks their filesystems are unclean, probably due to hibernation, or a damaged file system. Do this...

In Windows...

boot into Windows
open the Power control panel
choose change what the power buttons do
choose change options that are unavailable
uncheck fast startup
close the Power control panel
open an administrative command prompt window
type powercfg /h off
type chkdsk /f c:
approve to run chkdsk at next reboot
reboot into Windows to let chkdsk run on drive C:
