12.04 - unable to mount windows partition



I can't mount the windows 8 partition. I have shut it down properly. When I try to open up in devices, it gives me the following error:




Unable to mount 413 GB Filesystem
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda3': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
For example type on the command line:



  mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda3 /media/F866CF6F66CF2CE6



When I try the suggested command, I get:



 $LogFile version 2.0 is not supported.  (This driver supports version 1.1 only.)

$LogFile version 2.0 is not supported. (This driver supports version 1.1 only.)
Did not find any restart pages in $LogFile and it was not empty.
The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing.
fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/F866CF6F66CF2CE6: No such file or directory



Here is the output of blkid:



/dev/sda1: LABEL="Recovery" UUID="9AA42216A421F603" TYPE="ntfs" 
/dev/sda2: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="8E76CDA076CD8A03" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda3: UUID="F866CF6F66CF2CE6" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda5: UUID="a30b4dc5-5f9a-42fb-b0da-33d932472fa3" TYPE="ext4"

/dev/sr0: LABEL="Tablet_CD" TYPE="iso9660"
/dev/mmcblk0p1: LABEL="NIKON D90" UUID="6265-3236" TYPE="vfat"



You should have this directory already created and it should have proper permissions.



1.mkdir -p /media/F866CF6F66CF2CE6



and then do



2.sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile,uid=,gid= /dev/sda3 /media/F866CF6F66CF2CE6




You can get your user id and group id from /etc/passwd file. This is how my user's entry looks like in my /etc/passwd file. First 1000 is my UID and the second 1000 is my GID.



thefourtheye:x:1000:1000:thefourtheye,,,:/home/thefourtheye:/bin/bash



If you dont want to execute the mount command each and every time you boot up, just add that command in /etc/rc.local file.
