Windows refused to mount Windows in Hibernated state
Hi folks
Those of you trying to mount Windows partition on a Linux VM (or Host) and you get a message :Mounting volume... Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
FAILED
To fix (although you will lose anything in the hiberfile.sys --I don't hibernate Windows in any case so not bothered)
simply type : sudo ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda4 /mnt/DV3 where /dev/sda4 is windows partition (the "C" drive) and /mnt/DV3 is the mount point you want to mount the Windows partition on.
Now you have read / write access again and all working.
Cheers
