0x4000 is VOLUME_CHKDSK_UNDERWAY. It means your volume is in the middle of having chkdsk run on it. Do as the driver says: run chkdsk on it and mount in Windows and the error will go away and you will be able to mount in Linux read/write...
Here is the minimum you have to do:
- Boot windows and log in. - Open command prompt and type: chkdsk c: /f /v /x - Windows will ask you if you want to schedule the chkdsk for next reboot. Answer yes and reboot. - Allow chkdsk to run to completion. Windows will reboot again. - Boot windows again and log in. - Open command prompt and type: dir c:\ - Reboot. The below may be required in some circumstances but may well not be necessary so you can try mounting in Linux r/w now and if it still does not work then do this: - Boot into windows _again_ and log in. - Open command prompt and type: dir c:\ - Reboot.
You should now definitely have cleaned up the volume for Linux to be able to mount r/w.
Should it still not work, please let me know but you would be the first one for whom the above sequence would not have fixed it...
