 Okay, this video is gonna be a tech tip. You may have experienced this. I think this started in Windows 8, maybe Windows 7, but definitely in Windows 8 and 10, where Windows, if it's not properly shut down and that it's in hibernation mode, or they started doing this fast reboot thing, where basically they don't really shut down the computer. You tell Windows to shut down, it doesn't really shut down. It goes into a hibernation mode and just tells you that it's shut down so that it feels like it's booting faster when it's really not. And the problem with this is you go to mount the drive. So in this case, I'll sudo mount device SDA5 for partition five on that. And I'll just mount it to my MNT folder. It's gonna give you this message saying that you can't mount it. The operation is not permitted. And it says that the problem is you need to fully shut down Windows with no hibernation or fast restart mode. You can, however, still mount it in Linux as read only. So running the same command, I'm going to add in a little argument here to our command line dash O-R-O. And that will mount it, no problem, but it's gonna mount it as read only, meaning that I can't edit the files. I can only read them, which is good for backing up files, but it doesn't help you when it comes to maybe making some modifications on the system. So I can list out, you can see that partition is currently mounted. So I'm gonna go ahead and unmount this partition now. Pseudo, you mount MNT, and that partition is now unmounted. So how do we get it mounted so we can make modifications to it? Well, the recommended way, and what you should do if possible, is boot into Windows, disable hibernation, disable the fast restart in the settings, and then shut down properly. That is not always the options that you have, though. In my particular case, and I'll talk more about this in other videos, this is my sister-in-law's laptop and the touchscreen is cracked. And what's happening is the touchscreen is causing it to click all the time in random spots down at the bottom right of the corner. So Windows is basically useless because I can't do anything with the system to disable the touchscreen because there's nothing I can do with Windows without the GUI interface as far as I know. Now I'm hoping that maybe I can make some modifications to the systems from Linux and get their Windows partition fixed, but I can't go into Windows now and turn off hibernation and fast restart and shut down properly. Anytime I boot into it, I have to power down improperly because I can't even get to the shutdown menu. So how can I make it so that I can mount this partition and make modifications to it in Linux without having to go through Windows? Well, again, if you could do it the other way through Windows, it's probably a better option, but you'll probably have a tool installed on your system if you're running Ubuntu, I think it's part of the NTFS package. So if you can mount NTFS file systems, you probably already have this installed. It's called NTFS fix. And you're gonna have to be pseudo root, so pseudo NTFS fix and the name of the partition that you want to, or the path of the partition you wanna fix. So in my case, it's SDA, the first hard drive, partition five, I'll hit enter and it will take a moment and it will fix what needs to be fixed. And at this point, I'll clear the screen, I'll say pseudo mount device SDA five, forces MNT and now our partition, if I say mount here is mounted and it's mounted as read, write and I can go in there and make modifications. So I can now go here and I can touch temp.file or file.temp, whatever I wanna call it, hit enter. And I was able to write to that hard drive. So now hopefully maybe I can somehow, I still don't know how, but I'm moving along, disable the touchscreen, either maybe going through registry which you can edit from Linux. It's not always recommended, but in tough situations like this, I can maybe somehow disable the touchscreen in the registry or maybe even go in and delete or rename the drivers if I can figure out what driver files are for that touchscreen. I don't know if either of those will work. Unlike Linux, it's not just a plain text config file that I can go in and disable the touchscreen. So still working on that. But at least I now know of and you now know of NTFS fix and that will fix those partitions that were not properly shut down from Windows due to either their hibernation or their fast restart settings which are just ridiculous.

If you can't support me financially, think about liking, sharing, subscribing and commenting below. Let me know if you know of any other tricks similar to this and if you know of a way to disable a touchscreen in Windows without actually having to boot into the Windows GUI. That would be much appreciated because as far as I can tell, there's really no way to get just a shell on Windows and the few kind of sort of ways you need to go into the GUI to enable those, you can't just do it at boot time so that kind of is out of the question for me. So if you know of a way to do either of those things, remove, disable a touchscreen without actually going into the GUI on Windows, that'd be great. Let me know in the comments below as always and I'll talk more about this laptop in other videos. So thank you for watching and I hope that you have a great day.
