In windows 8, there is a feature of "fast start-up" which is somehow equivalent to hibernate. It saves your system state in hibernate.sys file so that when next time you boot up the system it takes just few seconds to start.
This feature is enables by default and most of the users are unaware of it.
But this feature cause a problem to Linux users. When you boot the Linux OS and try to mount the drives it throws the error and doesn't allow you to access it.
So if you are trying to mount the drive and facing the same problem then you need to disable this feature.
How to disable "fast-startup" in windows-8:
1. Go to control panel.
2. click on the Power Options icon.
3. Click on the Choose what the power buttons do link on the left side.
4. Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable link at the top.
5. Under Shutdown settings, Uncheck the fast startup box.
6. click on the Save changes button.
Happy Learning :)
