How to mount an NTFS partition read-only in Windows?

Question

I feel like this is a really simple and fundamental function that Windows should have, but so far Google has been telling me it isn't possible. How can I mount an NTFS partition read-only in Windows?

Everett's answer works! (Thanks.)

Additional info about diskpart:

1. If you have multiple volumes in a disk, neither detail vol nor attr vol shows the correct read-only status. It shows the read-only status of the last modified volume. Try these: sel vol 1, attr vol set readonly, sel vol 2, attr vol clear readonly, sel vol 1. Now detail vol shows that volume 1 is not read-only, but it actually is.

2. If you modify a volume with Linux's ntfs-3g and then bring it to Windows, it cannot be mount read-only.

3. If you run attr disk set readonly, none of the disk's volume can be mounted.

Answer 1

• Switch off "automount" by running mountvol.exe /N
• Connect disk to Windows (do not mount the disk)
• Run diskpart
  • Enter list volume
  • Enter select volume X (where X is the correct volume number from the previous command)
  • Enter att vol set readonly
  • Enter detail vol and ensure the read-only bit is set

Now you can mount the volume, the volume will be read-only.
