+===== Mount/Repair NTFS =====
+If an NTFS volume mounts as read-only, it is usually due to an unclean shutdown or filesystem inconsistency.
+Attempt repair:
+<code bash>
+sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdX#
+</code>
+Then remount:
+<code bash>
+sudo mount -t ntfs3 /dev/sdX# /mnt/ntfs
+</code>
+Create mount point if needed:
+<code bash>
+sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ntfs
+</code>
+<WRAP info>
+**Notes:**
+  * ''ntfsfix'' performs basic repairs and clears the "dirty" flag
+  * Full repair should be done from Windows using ''chkdsk''
+  * If the issue persists, ensure Windows Fast Startup is disabled
+</WRAP>
+===== Repair FAT32 filesystem errors =====
+If a FAT32 filesystem mounts as read-only, it is often due to detected corruption.
+Check kernel logs:
+<code bash>
+dmesg
+</code>
+Typical errors:
+<code bash>
+FAT-fs (sdb1): error, corrupted directory (invalid entries)
+FAT-fs (sdb1): Filesystem has been set read-only
+FAT-fs (sdb1): error, invalid access to FAT
+</code>
+Repair the filesystem:
+<code bash>
+sudo umount /dev/sdX#
+sudo fsck.vfat -a -w /dev/sdX#
+</code>
+  * ''-a'' automatically repair filesystem
+  * ''-w'' write changes to disk
+Note: Ensure the correct device is targeted before running ''fsck''.
