I recently installed Ubuntu along with Windows 10. It is working perfectly till today. But I updated my Ubuntu 16.04 form Software Updater and restarted my system.

After restarting I am getting following Error while opening other disk drives (named 136 GB Volume).

enter image description here

Please notice that I am able to access these drives(NTFS partitioned) before updating the system but now it is showing error.

Now I am having access to Computer drive only (that is EXT4).

Please help me to solve this issue. As I am new to Ubuntu.

Thanks!

Simply open terminal and type this command

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda2

you can replace /dev/sda2 by your appropriate drive in which you are facing problem, like in my case there was a same problem with my drive /dev/ada4

Windows 10 (or Windows 8/8.1), by default, hibernates all drives.

In order to access Windows drives from other OSes in dual boot you need to disable the fastboot default option in Windows.

  1. Option 1

Open Control Panel > Power Options. Click "Choose what the power buttons do" and then "Change settings that are currently unavailable". Under "Shutdown settings", uncheck the Turn on fast startup box, click on the "Save changes" button and shutdown (do not simply reboot because it will reverse the changes).

  1. Option 2 - Edit the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power and change its DWORD value to 0. Shutdown.

Anyway, you shouldn't be messing with your Windows system partition from Ubuntu. If you need to share files between OSes consider creating another partition (NTFS) just for that. Doing otherwise the chance of your Windows not booting afterwards is very high.
