Could Not Mount Issue

[montesd]

Cannot upload to FOG, error message states,
“The disk contains an unclean file system”
has anyone else gotten this error?

"Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/nvme0n1p3 : Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

MAKE SURE FASTBOOT IS UNCHECKED!!!
Our coworker figured it out.
It’s located in additional power settings.

Or use sysprep to power off the computer
Or run this command to properly power off the computer for cloning shutdown.exe -s -t 0

You found the issue with Windows 8+ where shutdown isn’t really shutdown but an enhanced sleep mode. Disabling fast boot actually puts the computer in a powered off state too.

@george1421 Thank you for this suggestion. This disabling of “fastboot” worked PERFECTLY! I interrupted the OOBE with Shift + F10 and got the command line window. I shutdown using the “shutdown.exe -s -t 0” command you suggested. Then after booting up, the FOG capture task I had already started took over and it captured 100% as it should have.

Essentially, I had forgotten to disable fastboot like I normally do on EVERY computer I have. So when it “rebooted” it technically wasn’t rebooting the device since fastboot is a misguided absurd hibernation feature Microsoft developed. The error I got was nearly identical to the one in the original post.

Thanks so much for this suggestion George and all!
