I installed ubuntu alongside windows but whenever i try to access my ssd and hard drive like a can on windows it says Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sda1: Command-line `mount "/mnt/SSD"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.

Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': 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.
 
PLease help me

Hi,

 

First, make sure you have properly shutdown the windows and have not hibernated it.

According to the ntfs-3g manual, there is an option that allows you to do this:

remove_hiberfile
Unlike in case of read-only mount, the read-write mount is
denied if the NTFS volume is hibernated. One needs either to
resume Windows and shutdown it properly, or use this option
which will remove the Windows hibernation file. Please note,
this means that the saved Windows session will be completely
lost. Use this option under your own responsibility.

 

So, I stress that this will destroy any unsaved data that is in the hibernated Windows session. If that is not an issue for you, you should be able to access the drive by running:

sudo ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdXN /path/to/mount

Change sdXN to your windows partition (e.g. /dev/sda1) and /path/to/mount to the actual path you want to mount to.

That should mount the drive c
