I can't mount or even boot my windows disk after I installed ubuntu. Can anyone help me, how can I solve this, please?

Error message:

Couldn't analyze partition: Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/mapos/7670A71A70A6DFDB: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/mapos/7670A71A70A6DFDB"' 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.

Manually mount the filesystem in read only mode.

Check to see if you have a mount point (folder for mounting your partition in) for your Windows partition in the folder /media using this command:

 ls /media

If you don't see a folder for your Windows partition, you should create one with the following command:

 sudo mkdir /media/windows

Next, mount the partition in read-only mode onto this folder with this command:

 mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sdb1 /media/windows

Note that you should change /media/windows if your mountpoint is called something else.Also, here I am assuming your windows drive is sdb1.

Now you will be able to view/open files on your Windows partition using any program in Ubuntu. However you will not be able to write to the partition or modify any files as it is in read only mode.

Check if you still have your windows system data in it.If yes then maybe restarting your PC should do the work.
