                @gjacobse said in Dual Boot: Unable to access Windows from Ubuntu:

                Installed Windows, shrank drive, installed Ubuntu 18.04.

                Unable to mount the Windows drive even though shutdown is clean.

                Windows is (or should be) sda4,..

                sda1 - ntfs
                sda2 - vfat /boot/efi
                sda3 -
                sda4 -
                sda5 ext4

                I'm following this (which has worked in the past)

                https://askubuntu.com/questions/978746/how-to-mount-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu-16-04

                What happens when you mount sda1?

                sda is listed as the recovery partition,.. and likely doesn't have any of the User data.

                That being said,.. I'll check that.

                Follow up, yes I can mount and access /dev/sda1.

                But there isn't anything there other than the recovery.

                That is all that should be there.. your list proved that.

                  I believe this is because of the Windows 10 does not fully restart, it actually hibernates... maybe disable fastboot on Windows 10. Then try to mount it again.

                    Turned off,.. still getting same error that sda4 doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS

                      Or hold down the Shift key and restart.

                          Windows DUMBASS-ory..

                          Talking to my brother, he mentioned some 'issues' with Windows not releasing the lock on the partition. He suggested and this is the really dumb part on windows.

                          To boot Windows and RESTART normally.

                          Since grub starts Ubuntu by default, it booted normally into Ubuntu.

                          I did the lsblk -f as before, only this time for /dev/sda4 - there is a UID for it. AND it shows as NTFS..

                          so,.. FFS Windows,.. FYS. now,.. to see how to prevent this stupidness in the future.

                            This why someone suggested that you go into Windows and do a full shutdown with shift shutdown.... normal shutdowns now aren’t full shut downs to allow the system to boot faster.

                                Yup - a FULL shutdown didn't do anything more that the SHIFT shutdown.
