hibernate - Unable to mount a hard drive due to windows 8 hibernation


I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop, and I had a problem when I want to mount a hard drive due to windows 8 hibernation.


The problem is that when I was partitioning my hard drive I formated the drive which contained Windows 8 without shutting down Windows, I only did a hibernation, so now I can't resume and shutdown Windows fully.


Now I can only mount my hard drive as read-only.


How can I solve this problem ??



Boot with windows and in cmd type powercfg -h off to disable hibernation and then try boot with Ubuntu this will fix.


Also you can fix that from Ubuntu:


Use sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXY where XY is the partition name. ex:sda4. use gparted to find partition name.
