Windows is hibernating
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". 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),
# ntfsfix -d device (/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. Then I ran a
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,
-T
