My HDD is on its verge of death and I have Windows 8 installed on it. I have some pretty important files there that I need to take to the Ubuntu side. My Ubuntu installation is on its separate physical hard drive.
When I click one of my Windows 8 partitions via Ubuntu (there are two), I get this error message:
Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/dugi/Store: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/dugi/Store"' exited with non-zero exit status 14:
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in
Windows cache, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1':
Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state.
Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast
restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option.
Is there a way I can fix or backup my important data from this HDD via Ubuntu? It's the only way I have direct access to these HDDs - the Windows 8 system wont boot anymore.
Help would be appreciated.
