Ubuntu – How to access efi boot partition as read-write

bootloaderdual-bootmountread-onlyuefi

I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 alongside windows 8 (efi mode) and now I want to go to a read-write access of the efi boot partition.

For secure boot to work, I installed the Linux Foundation's PreLoader. Then I enabled root account login to access the efi boot partition. I have copied the boot loader, but now the efi boot partition mounts as read-only.

When I try to change the folder permissions, it says:

Error setting permissions:Read-only filesystem

I have already tried the following command in root:

mount -o remount,rw /folder1/folder2/targetFolder

It is still read-only.

How to fix this?

i figured it out my self ... i used chkdsk command in windows 8 and it repaired the partition.

thanks if anybody took pain to solve this .. i would have deleted this question the same day i posted it here but i don't know how to. sorry

Ubuntu – Unable to mount filesystem as read-write in recovery mode

If I am not wrong, the filesystem is mounted read-only by default in Recovery mode. To mount it as read-write, go the recovery mode and choose root. Now type the following command:

mount -o rw,remount /

Note the spaces, you'll get an error if you ignore the spaces, or add extra ones too. And then you can copy as you tried earlier.
