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
:
If you have multiple volumes in a disk, neither
detail vol
norattr 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
. Nowdetail vol
shows that volume 1 is not read-only, but it actually is.If you modify a volume with Linux's
ntfs-3g
and then bring it to Windows, it cannot be mount read-only.If you run
attr disk set readonly
, none of the disk's volume can be mounted.
