When I try to access my hard disk on Windows I got the following error:
Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/debo/2290657790655279: Command-line `mount -t
"ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177"
"/dev/sda2" "/media/debo/2290657790655279"' exited with non-zero exit status 14:
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': 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.
Please can anyone help me on this?
