I have dual boot ubuntu 17.04 along with Win 10.

lsblk command gave me this: 

  sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
    ├─sda1   8:1    0  89.2G  0 part 
    ├─sda2   8:2    0 154.1G  0 part 
    ├─sda3   8:3    0 202.4G  0 part 
    ├─sda4   8:4    0     1K  0 part 
    └─sda5   8:5    0    20G  0 part /

sda1,sda2,sda3 become read only, and I cant write anything to it. I've tried How to fix "The destination is read-only" error on HDD pratishthan But none of the answers worked for me. Please Help.

  • boot a live CD and run fsck on the drive - https://www.maketecheasier.com/check-repair-filesystem-fsck-linux/ Post the command you ran and any errors if you have problems. – Panther Jul 11 '17 at 15:09

Open the terminal and write the command 

sudo fdisk -l

It will show your file system

identify the partition you want permission for read and write

then type the command and give the partition name like this

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda3

One of the possible fixes is the following: On Windows, you have to turn off the fast startup option (here's how to do it: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1045548). Then shut down your system (shutdown, not restart!). You should be then able to edit the Windows partition from Ubuntu.

NB: the fast startup option is reenabled by Windows after some updates. You will then have to do it again.
