Linux: Unable to mount disk

I recently went from from windows 10 to Lunix Mint, and after the install, I cannot access my second HDD in Linux Mint.

It said something like "Unable to mount "

Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/mrrame/New Volume Command-line
"mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/mrrame/New Volume "
exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).  Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Failed to mount ‘/dev/sdb1’: 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.


  Obviously mounting in Read only option is not a viable solution, and few google searches after, this page had what i need. Apparently windows has a "Fast Startup Option" from Windows 8/10 which messes the disk.


from terminal, run the following command, replace sdb1 with your disk name

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1

    not sure if I understand your question. If you have multiple drives and want to change your OS from Windows to Linux, then this is applicable.
