Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media

Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/debo/2290657790655279: Command-line `mount -t
"ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" 
"/dev/sda2" "/media/debo/2290657790655279"' exited with non-zero exit status 14:
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': 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.
 
 
 
The problem is exactly what it says. If your windows has not properly shutdown, Ubuntu would not mount it in read write mode as writing to the disk may corrupt it. You can however mount it in read only mode using the command:

sudo mount -o ro /dev/sda2 /media/folder
