Question: I dual booted windows 8.0 x86 with ubuntu 14.04. Then tried accessing the volume containing windows but I got this error message:

```
Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/van/BE96C17E96C13823: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda2" "/media/van/BE96C17E96C13823"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': 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.

```

I would really appreciate the solution I can take to solve this problem.

Answer: 
two things can cause this problem:

1. dont start Ubuntu after you hibernate windows. Always do proper shutdown before you start Ubuntu.
2. Disable *Hybird Shutdown* in windows. [Here](http://www.maketecheasier.com/disable-hybrid-boot-and-shutdown-in-windows-8/) is how you can do that.

now all you can do is shutdown Ubuntu and start windows then follow the second method and restart and switch to Ubuntu

Hint: Please read the last sentence from the error you got:

*Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option.*
You ***must*** shutdown Windows completely - not just hibernate - before you try to mount it in Ubuntu.
