Hi,
My brother's Fujitsu Lifebook A series laptop isn't booting into Windows so I've just inserted a liveCD to try to copy the data off his hard drive as it isn't backed up. When I try to click on the Windows disc using Files it gives me the following error message:
Unable to access "Windows"
Error mounting /dev/sda4 at /media/ubuntu/Windows:Command-line 'mount -t "ntfs" -o
"uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uidd=999,gid=999 " "/dev/sda4" "/media/ubuntu/Windows" exited with non-zero status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0,0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda4':Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount hte volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option.
I've tried to follow the instructions at https://askubuntu.com/questions/2041...rtition#204173 where user98085 suggests using something like "sudo mount -r /dev/sda4". However, I get the error "mount: can't find dev/sda4 in /etc/fstab" I've tried moving to /etc/fstab and get the same error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Naomi
