UNABLE TO MOUNT NTFS WINDOWS FILE SYSTEM ON LINUX

In many cases you cant access your windows file system from linux (in dual boot or a fresh install on windows system). This is cause of improper shutdown of your windows or hibernet state of your windows or any other . due to this when you open file system disk it will show following disk error

Error mounting /dev/sdaXX at /media/shivashakthi/EDUCATION: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sdaxx" "/media/shivashakthi/EDUCATION"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda6': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount option.
xx is your file system 1 or 2 or....like that




then the soluation for this kind of error is shown below

Use ntfsfix in the terminal , even if you can't access Windows
sudo ntfsfix /dev/XY
//Previous wasn't working for me.
where XY is the partition
e.g sda2 or sdb1
ntfsfix repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.



or  try this with readonly mode so that you can access your files but you cant change and remove from your file system

goto  DISK>>>>ANY DISK PROPERTIES>>>EDIT MOUNT SETTING>>>>TURN OF AUTOMATIC MOUNT OPTION
