How do I mount this HDD?
- by Casval Deikun
I have a Windows HDD attached to an external docking bay on my Ubuntu System, but the HDD brings up an error message:
Mounting exited with exit code 14:windows is hibernated, refused to
mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sde2':Operation not permitted. The NTFS
partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown windows properly
or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or mount the
volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option. For
example type in command line:
mount -t ntfs-3g-o remove_hiberfile/dev/sde2/media/FE46D60C46D5C615
I am at a loss for exactly how to remove the hiberfile, or even mount it as read-only or read-write. I tried directly copy and pasting that exact command into my terminal, but it said:
mount:only root can do that
I do not know what to do at this point. I do need to get the information off of this drive, but I do not have a computer to put it in. Does anyone know what I should do from here?
