**If the partition is mounted as read-only after reboot**
If Windows is installed on the NTFS partition, the Windows Fast Startup feature can cause the mount command to fail.

## Preventing NTFS Read Errors
**THERE HAS BEEN A REPORT THAT THIS MAY CAUSE DATA LOSS**
Due to the nature of NTFS, creating [files/folders with names that are invalid on Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#naming-conventions) will cause disk errors (leading to games that don't launch). The most common issue is a `:` (colon) character in filenames that Proton creates on the NTFS disk.

Fixing this is pretty simple: create the `/compatdata` folder on the mounted NTFS disk as a symlink that points to a folder on a Linux partition.
