F21 Beta TC3 refused to mount NTFS partition

[Joerg Lechner]

Thank You Kamil and Chuck for Your help.
Now I have access to the Windows disk running F21 TC3.
According to what You had told me, I did the following:
- login Windows 8.1 as admin
- shut down using Windows-X
- start Windows as user
- leaving Windows via restart
- stop in Bios mode, switch to Legacy Mode (UEFI mode does not accept my external F21 pata disk)
- now I have r/w access to the internal disk (Windows 8.1) of the Acer Laptop running F21 on an external disk.

When I use Windows again and afterwards I want to use F21 with r/w access of the Win disk, I have to leave Windows via restart.
But it's not neccessary to login as admin a second time. So far my experience today.
Kind Regards

Windows 8 does not shutdown when you tell it to shutdown.  Instead it
"partially hibernates".  To be sure that Windows 8 really shuts down,
either turn off the "Fast Startup" (aka hybrid boot, aka hybrid
shutdown) option in Windows 8 (not in the BIOS/UEFI), or do a
"Restart" in Windows 8 but then choose to boot Fedora before Windows
starts.

button "Secure Boot Mode" which is on "standard". Anyway I did several Boots of 
Windows, switched to Legacy F21 and back to Windows etc. In one of my trials I 
could access in F21 Beta TC3 the Windows disk, but currently there is this Error 
Message again. Possibly there is an "influence" of the UEFI mode sometimes, in 
this case I would think it's a BIOS problem and not F21.
