| Aug 19 at 7:33 | comment | added | birdman | Now I formatted the partition to ext4 and wanted to add the option nobootwait, but if added the mount does not work and the following error is displayed: "fsconfig() failed: ext4: Unknown parameter 'nobootwait'" | |

If you have data you have not backed up, you may be able to manually mount read only. sudo mkdir /mnt/win & sudo mount -o ro /dev/sdc1 /mnt/win Make sure still sdc1 first. When I plug in a flash drive as sdc, then reboot, flash drive is sda & every other drive one letter higher.

On some distros there's also the ntfsfix command available. @birdman (if you need to mount it to backup/rescue data off it before the reformat).

I do not have Windows anymore. The options nofail and nobootwait are interesting in order not to hang the boot if it cannot be mounted. Who makes the flagged dirty? Usually, the OS boots and mounts correctly, and rarely, the mount error is prompted. What about reformatting the partition to ext4?
