Why does my NTFS partition mount as read only?
23
Until recently both my Windows Partition (C:) and my Data Partition (E:) would mount as read/write. Now both seem to only mount as read-only.

Can you write data to the partition? If not then read my answer below. And are you trying to resize, and not able to, thus the assumption its read-only? or are you actually trying to write data to the drive?

The system might not have the files for writing to NTFS partitions installed.
Try this in terminal:
sudo apt-get remove ntfsprogs && sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
This removes ntfsprogs if it's present on the system, and installs ntfs-3g which should allow you to write properly to NTFS partitions.
Then reboot your system, and attempt to open the NTFS drive for write access. You should now be able to write to the NTFS drive.

Running that command results in the system prompting me to remove ntfsprogs, which i looked up, and doesn't seem to list anything about writing to ntfs generally, so i removed it. This seems to have fixed it, i think i installed ntfsprogs when looking to run a disk check under ubuntu due to bad sectors (10 of them). Thanks!

Oct 21 '11 at 16:39
Yep. Your question was a bit misleading though, because of the data you attached. That data that is attached generally doesn't explain why you can't write to the drive - rather we see that you're trying to resize the drive in that data.

Performing a full shutdown of Windows will allow the drives to be fully mounted by Ubuntu. This can be accomplished by holding the SHIFT key as you press the "Shut down" button on the "Power" menu.

Can this be done if the Windows partition is gone? Put another way, can I do this if Windows is no longer installed?
– epotter
Oct 30 '17 at 23:58
No, this trick is only useful if you have Windows installed as there is no "Shut down" button to click if you don't have Windows installed.

To avoid having to hold-down Shift every time you shutdown Windows (it's easy to forget in a dual-boot configuration), you can simply disable Hibernation entirely, which also disables Hybrid Boot, thereby making this a non-issue. When booted into Windows, launch an elevated Command Prompt ("Run as Administrator") and typepowercfg /h offand hit Enter. Then, reboot into Ubuntu, and the NTFS drive will be writable. If you'd prefer not to disable Hibernation entirely, you can disable only Hybrid Boot using Control Panel (I couldn't find a command-line method); see link in the Answer for guide.

Happened to me, all I did was
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdxX // where x is HDD and X is drive number, in my case it was /dev/sda1
it will remove any logfile created by windows.
worked for me.

The system might not have the files for writing to NTFS partitions installed.
Try this in terminal:
sudo apt-get remove ntfsprogs && sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
This removes ntfsprogs if it's present on the system, and installs ntfs-3g which should allow you to write properly to NTFS partitions.
Then reboot your system, and attempt to open the NTFS drive for write access. You should now be able to write to the NTFS drive.

Running that command results in the system prompting me to remove ntfsprogs, which i looked up, and doesn't seem to list anything about writing to ntfs generally, so i removed it. This seems to have fixed it, i think i installed ntfsprogs when looking to run a disk check under ubuntu due to bad sectors (10 of them). Thanks!

Yep. Your question was a bit misleading though, because of the data you attached. That data that is attached generally doesn't explain why you can't write to the drive - rather we see that you're trying to resize the drive in that data.

Performing a full shutdown of Windows will allow the drives to be fully mounted by Ubuntu. This can be accomplished by holding the SHIFT key as you press the "Shut down" button on the "Power" menu.

Can this be done if the Windows partition is gone? Put another way, can I do this if Windows is no longer installed?

No, this trick is only useful if you have Windows installed as there is no "Shut down" button to click if you don't have Windows installed.

To avoid having to hold-down Shift every time you shutdown Windows (it's easy to forget in a dual-boot configuration), you can simply disable Hibernation entirely, which also disables Hybrid Boot, thereby making this a non-issue. When booted into Windows, launch an elevated Command Prompt ("Run as Administrator") and typepowercfg /h offand hit Enter. Then, reboot into Ubuntu, and the NTFS drive will be writable. If you'd prefer not to disable Hibernation entirely, you can disable only Hybrid Boot using Control Panel (I couldn't find a command-line method); see link in the Answer for guide.

Happened to me, all I did was
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdxX // where x is HDD and X is drive number, in my case it was /dev/sda1
it will remove any logfile created by windows.
worked for me.

Can you write data to the partition? If not then read my answer below. And are you trying to resize, and not able to, thus the assumption its read-only? or are you actually trying to write data to the drive?
