I cannot write anything to my Windows partition. Trying below command does not help. 

$ sudo chmod 777 /media/pi/Windows 
[sudo] password for pi: 
chmod: changing permissions of '/media/pi/Windows': Read-only file system

But when I do ls -l /media/pi/Windows I get drwxrwxrwx for all folders and -rwxrwxrwx for all files. enter image description here I am using Ubuntu 18.04 Codename: bionic

  • What is the mount command you used to mount the device (or `fstab` entry) and the output to `lsb_release --code`? – Fabby Dec 15 '18 at 18:56
  • You cannot change ownership & permissions on NTFS formatted partitions. They only have settings based on mount. If issue is it really Windows hibernation is on? https://askubuntu.com/questions/145902/unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation – oldfred Dec 18 '18 at 19:49
  • Actually I am able to mount and read the Windows partition but cannot write onto it. – Piyush Chauhan Dec 18 '18 at 20:39

  • Are you sure that when leaving Windows you have [shut it down completely](https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-quickly-shut-down-windows-10/)? - if your symptoms are that paste, rename, delete options in file manager context menu are absent, most probably that's the cause –  Dec 19 '18 at 10:36
