I have windows 10 and ubuntu-16.04 installed in dual boot.

I want to get into the Linux universe from time to time and I have a problem that is rather intriguing to me! When I installed, Ubuntu already has Windows 10 installed with two C: and D: partitions.

To install Ubuntu I created a third partition with on the hard disk and installed ubuntu in dual boot! Until then, everything OK !!

When I opened the Ubuntu OS I can see the disks C: and D: and I can read and write files on them !! But after using the system two or three times, do not know the right, is no longer allowed to read or write the disks through Ubuntu!

What happened?

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
  • type chkdsk /f d:
  • reboot into Windows to let chkdsk run on drive C:
