I am using DUALBOOT (Windows+Ubuntu)

I am unable to access my windows content in Ubuntu platform. When i am trying to use Ubuntu, I am getting this error

Error mounting /dev/sda6 at /media/satya/New Volume: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sda6" "/media/satya/New Volume"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda6': 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.

  • From the message "Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting)" so .... You have to first boot windows and disable hibernation and fast boot. – Panther Jul 15 '17 at 06:30

I think if you boot into Windows and then perform a full hard drive test (Check Disk) and let it correct any potential problems. If your familiar with going into the bios, or utilities you may also be able to perform a HDD Smart Test.

If all these pass, Ubuntu should be able to mount those partitions by default installation. If not make sure you have ntfs-3g installed. Read more here.

  • This answer is wrong as the problem is with windows fast boot and/or hibernation. For details see - https://askubuntu.com/questions/145902/unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation – Panther Jul 15 '17 at 17:35
