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*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*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?
Many thanks,

this is an old bug with respect to multi-boot systems.Â* As I
understand it, you may not be doing a proper shutdown but using some
kind of 'hibernate' like when you set things up for a "fast reboot".
Normally I'd say to turn that 'fast reboot' thing off, and do a full
reboot every time.Â* But you said you actually DID that.Â* So apparently
NOT, then...
If you need to use windows and linux on a regular basis dont multiboot,
would be my advice.
Use virtualbox and keep all your data on the linux side - just have
enough disk in the virttualbox to boot windows. You can then see the
linux drive system as a (very fast!) network share in windows.
This is in every way bit one a superiors solution to a hybrid environemnt.
