The what is evident by the error, as to why the drive is unavailable , based on the disk utility output the drive appears to be failing. You also appear to be dual booting Windows. If fast-start is enabled under Windows (the default) the file system is unavailable due to the hibernation file Windows leaves there. This is actually for your protection. If you were to make changes to the file system with Ubuntu while Windows is in hibernation status (fast-boot), you would lose those changes upon rebooting (resuming) Windows.



The first thing to try is disabling fast-boot from windows. This should allow you to mount the drive with Ubuntu.



I recommend replacement of the drive ASAP and insuring that you have current backups of all your critical data.

  • No clarification required. I believe I understand completely. I stand by my answer although I understand that you believe Windows 8.1 was not hibernated. Fast startup is the default in windows 8 and 8.1 so unless you turned it off explicitly you have a hibernation file on the drive: Further research: winaero.com/blog/…

  • Repairing your Windows 8.1 boot is a second step and you should recover your data first.

  • No clarification required. I believe I understand completely. I stand by my answer although I understand that you believe Windows 8.1 was not hibernated. Fast startup is the default in windows 8 and 8.1 so unless you turned it off explicitly you have a hibernation file on the drive: Further research: winaero.com/blog/…

  • Repairing your Windows 8.1 boot is a second step and you should recover your data first.

The what is evident by the error, as to why the drive is unavailable , based on the disk utility output the drive appears to be failing. You also appear to be dual booting Windows. If fast-start is enabled under Windows (the default) the file system is unavailable due to the hibernation file Windows leaves there. This is actually for your protection. If you were to make changes to the file system with Ubuntu while Windows is in hibernation status (fast-boot), you would lose those changes upon rebooting (resuming) Windows.



The first thing to try is disabling fast-boot from windows. This should allow you to mount the drive with Ubuntu.



I recommend replacement of the drive ASAP and insuring that you have current backups of all your critical data.

  • LEt me explain: I have Windows 8.1 Pro installed on the 1TB. I shutdown then try to boot up again and I get the error no OS detected or something similar to that extent. I try mounting the OS in ubuntu where the error outlined in my question was produced. Windows was not hibernated. Hope this clarifies.
