Hi,
had a similar problem a few month ago, but i think starting a new thread is better then pushing an old one with useless answers. So straight to the problem:
When I booted my computer it hang up during the start up sequence, so i hit the reset button.
Now everytime I tried to boot windows it hang up right after checking for any bootable CD-Rom without any error message.
So I booted from an Ubuntu Live CD and tried to access my windows partition and linux told me:
Choice 1 is obviously not possible, Choice 2 will let me backup my files, but won't solve my problem.Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:
Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by
clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.
Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
your own responsibility.
So: Does anyone know how I remove the "in use" mark on my windows partition without having to boot Windows?
(To prevent any further questions about what I've done: I've done nothing special the last time I used windows. Read Emails, played games, browsed the web. And I shut down the computer properly before it hang up the first time within the boot sequence)
