Windows 8 does not shutdown when you tell it to shutdown. Instead it "partially hibernates". To be sure that Windows 8 really shuts down, either turn off the "Fast Startup" (aka hybrid boot, aka hybrid shutdown) option in Windows 8 (not in the BIOS/UEFI), or do a "Restart" in Windows 8 but then choose to boot Fedora before Windows starts. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6320-fast-startup-turn-off-windows-8-a.html On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 10:53:30AM -0400, Joerg Lechner wrote: > Hi, > I don't find a "fast restart" button in the BIOS. Windows 8.1 I have to run in UEFI Mode. For F21 I have to switch to Legacy Mode. There is in UEFI Mode a button "Secure Boot Mode" which is on "standard". Anyway I did several Boots of Windows, switched to Legacy F21 and back to Windows etc. In one of my trials I could access in F21 Beta TC3 the Windows disk, but currently there is this Error Message again. Possibly there is an "influence" of the UEFI mode sometimes, in this case I would think it's a BIOS problem and not F21. > But I didn't have a problem like that previously in F21 Alpha and Beta TC2. > Kind Regards > > > > > > > > -----Ursprüngliche Mitteilung----- > Von: Kamil Paral <kparal@xxxxxxxxxx> > An: For testing and quality assurance of Fedora releases <test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Verschickt: Mo, 13 Okt 2014 2:21 pm > Betreff: Re: F21 Beta TC3 refused to mount NTFS partition > > > > Error mounting /dev/sda4 at /run/media/joerg/Acer: Command-line `mount -t > > "ntfs" -o > > "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" > > "/dev/sda4" "/run/media/joerg/Acer"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: > > Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. > > Failed to mount '/dev/sda4': Die Operation ist nicht erlaubt > > The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state.
