Dear Windows and Linux newsgroups,

I have a cross platform issue so I am cross posting.

Last week I booted two separate Windows 10 computer off a
Fedora 29 Xfce Live USB stick. I was able to
mount the Windows NTFS main drive, but only as
"read only".Â* I could see everything and did (I was
not in one of those screw ball hidden Windows
partitions), but could not touch anything.

After unmounting, I went to clear the dirty flag (from linux),

Â*Â*Â* # ntfsfix -d deviceÂ*Â*Â* (/dev/sda1)

I got as message as that the dirty flag could not
be cleared because "Windows is hibernating".

I went back into Windows, made sure the "Fast Boot"
option was off (I had been on these machines before)
and it was still off.Â* Then I ran a

Â*Â*Â* chkdsk c: /f

from Windows and rebooted, letting chkdsk run its course.

After shutting Windows back down and rebooting into Linux,
I still could not mount the C: drive as read/write.

What am I doing wrong?

When I want to be sure, I tell Windows to reboot, not to poweroff.
