I was booting my pc, and it said recovering my pc after getting the logo screena for 5 min. Went to advanced repair settings and tried to refresh but it said my hard drive was locked? This is the third time I have done this so yes I have restarted just first time I got locked

UPDATE: my windows is in hibernation mode how do I fix this without bootin? I do have a live Ubuntu disk if that helps

Hey there, CrazyMan582!

Boot up the PC using your Windows Installation disk to access the Advanced Repair settings again.
Afterwards open the Command Prompt line and use this command to turn off Hibernation:
At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off, and then press Enter.
Type Exit, and then press Enter to close the Command Prompt line window.

Hope this will help you boot up normally. Keep me posted, though & Good luck! :)
