Edit Files on windows partition from linux

If you've tried to edit windows files from linux, you might have encoutered the issue when trying to write to ntfs file system.

Read-only file system.

1.) First, we need to disable hibernation. Boot into your windows System. Open a cmd as Admin, and run powercfg /h off 2.) Shutdown windows. Then boot from the linux system you wish to access the windows partition. Run these commands to mount the windows partition.

sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs2
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o windows_names /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfs2/

(where /dev/sda3 has to be substituted for your block device and /mnt/ntfs2 for your destination)
