Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi there

I remember awhile ago I encountered the same problem with my Windows OS.

I have had to reinstall Windows on my primary partition and have the same issue.

It's a clean installation of Windows10 and I vaguely recall it was something potentially to do with Hibernation (?) Or it might be wishful thinking on my part.

Has anyone got a solution?

Thanks in advance

@Jasper

NTFS became read-only if the file system was dirty, the Windows in hibernate state, or the Windows use fast boot which also hibernate the system. The solution was disable fast boot on windows 10 or use puppy kernel with NTFS3 kernel module support.

Hi Jasper and mistfire:

After Windows 10 is installed and working, if you wish
to later occasionally run Puppy Linux, you must tell Windows 10 to
turn off its "hibernate feature". (Note: This is a "one time" effort.)

While running Windows 10, to turn off hibernate:

On your keyboard, press the "windows key" and X

Then, choose: Administrator: Windows PowerShell:

If you want to disable Hibernate, just type this command and press Enter.
(The system will delete the hiberfil.sys file automatically, but I don't remember seeing any confirming response !)

powercfg -h off

then, to close the "Administrator: Windows PowerShell" window, type:

exit

I have a question about the "newer" Puppy kernel(s) with NTFS3 kernel module support,
instead of using NTFS-3G:

I tried to look up "Linux and NTFS3 and hibernate".

I did not seem to get a lot of answers.

At the moment, I am not certain that using one of the latest Puppy ISO's,
which have the "new" NTFS3 kernel module (maybe as part of kernels after kernel version 5.15),
will allow Puppy Linux people to write to a NTFS drive on which Windows
has not already turned off the "hibernate feature" when later Windows
performs a shutdown.
(I'm under the impression that with hibernate still on, during shutdown,
Windows merely behaves like a laptop when its lid is closed
and is to be later reopened.)

Thank you for the replies.

I recalled @oldaolgeezer command and that worked perfectly for me
