I was not sure whether to ask this in superuser or here. Anyway, I have dual boot: Win 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 and 3 disk drives:

  1. for Windows OS (the famous C://)
  2. neutral one, for files (lets call it "D drive")
  3. for Linux (Ubuntu is installed solely on this one)

When I restart from Windows and go in Linux, I can open D drive, but if I shutdown from Windows - I cannot open D drive in Linux. It gives me an error saying that the drive is in an unsafe state - the same as if I hibernate from Windows. The hibernation I understand why, but isn't the shutdown supposed to clear the state of the drive (as the restart does)?

Disable fast start up feature on Windows 8. For that do the following.

Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > System Setting > Choose what the power buttons do and uncheck the Turn on fast startup box.
