Cannot mount ntfs partition

If you are using the current 6.8 kernel or later, then you must use ntfs3 as the driver instead of ntfs-3g, which is the FUSE driver.

Also, make sure that your filesystems have been properly shut down in Windows. Disable Windows Fast Startup (or whatever it’s called) and properly shut it down. Fast Startup is a form of hybrid sleep in which Windows does not properly shut down its filesystems, which the Linux kernel then sees as a “dirty or damaged” filesystem.
