I'm glad my guess turned out to work because moving the 1.6TB partition took 19 hours!
I suspect it rewrites the partition table along with metadata/hibernation flag. The solution I finally found was to use GParted to move the affected partition to another location on the hard drive, changing the amount of bytes preceding and following the partition.
Tried mounting as read only then remounting (sudo mount -o remount,rw ) which at first seemed to give me write access, but none of the changes I made were actually written to disk (removed files in nautilus reappeared). I tried to mount it with the remove_hiberfile option with no luck, still the same error message. Recently I had 2 hard drives, one previously running Windows 8 which I got sick of and reformatted and a 2TB storage drive I had been using with Windows 8.Īs I had removed Windows 8, had no Windows installation media and had no plans on reinstalling it any time soon, removing the fast and hybrid boot options was not an alternative. I have run into this problem several times before as well. I am able to mount read-only, but that doesn't help me much. Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state.
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.įailed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not permitted This is the message given as a result of all above commands (adding debug did not change anything): The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). It's like the remove_hiberfile option isn't being recognized, because I don't get an error when trying to use the option remove_hiberfile3ejeiofe but rather the same message. Sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o debug,remove_hiberfile /dev/sda5 /mnt/win sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda5 /mnt/win The windows partition is on /dev/sda5, so I ran sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/win I don't care about the programs I had open, or the data in them. Then after much cautioning, the option remove_hiberfile is suggested. I've been looking at questions like Unable to mount Windows (NTFS) filesystem due to hibernation and How do I mount a hibernated NTFS partition? and they all say "Boot into windows" which I am unable to do.
