Hey guys, My family's Windows machine stopped working and i need to back up some files. But it only gives me this error instead:

Error mounting /dev/sda4 at /media/brendon/2C66B74966B71316: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda4" "/media/brendon/2C66B74966B71316"' 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/sda4': 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.

Can you help me? This is my families, not mine, I use GNU/Linux (primarily). Can you help me please? it says i need help mounting this as read only.

Try to execute 'sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda4' in a terminal. It is installed by default in Trisquel (it comes with the "ntfs-3g" package).

I tried, but it gave me an 'hardware error instead'.

Here it is:
Error mounting /dev/sda4 at /media/brendon/2C66B74966B71316: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda4" "/media/brendon/2C66B74966B71316"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error
Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.

I dont like using Windows due to it's freedom issues. so can you help me with this without having to use Windows?

Did you try the read-only suggestion?

Just add "ro" to the options of the command mentioned in your first post, i.e.

sudo mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177,ro" "/dev/sda4" "/media/brendon/whatever"

I have no idea whether all those other options are needed or helpful. If that command doesn't work, try removing all other options besides ro. I believe super user powers are needed, hence sudo.

Also, make sure that /media/brendon/whatever exists. If needed you can create it withsudo mkdir -p /media/brendon/whatever

Nope, i still got the same error message:

yes try read only option, or you could maybe try to use something like grc's spinrite or some similar hard drive recovery software and see if that makes it readable.
