So my windows doesn't boot up and i want to backup my files and format my windows 8.1 so i can do a fresh install. But the problem is that i can't access my files from ubuntu. I created a ubuntu desktop live bootable usb stick and it boots up without any problems but like i said, i have no permission to access my files.

I read on the internet that i have to disable hibernating, but on every site it says that i have to disable it in my windows8 os. But i can't even boot up so how can i disable it from my os.

My question is, is there anyway to disable hibernating without booting my windows 8.1.
