Fix hard disk accessing problem from Ubuntu on a dual booted Computer!(Ubuntu alongside Windows 8/8.1)

Having trouble while trying to access hard disk from Ubuntu on a dual booted Computer?
It occurs when you are using Ubuntu alongside windows 8/8.1. If you shut down your windows and next time you select Ubuntu to be booted up, you might not be able to access hard disk form Ubuntu. But if you restart your Windows and in next boot up you enter Ubuntu you might be able to access hard disk from Ubuntu. Here the question is, why this happen?
The answer to the reason is:
Through Windows 8/8.1 Microsoft corporation launched a new feature in Windows, The Secure Boot Up. If secure boot up is enabled on your computer under Windows then, when you try to shut down windows, it doesn’t shut down actually. It’s a term like hibernation where hibernation holds the current operational condition of the opened Windows while secure boot up holds the memory information’s so that the next boot up be fast and it does actually. But if you restart your computer, the secure boot up is not permitted to work. And if you select Ubuntu to be logged in then, you will be able to access the hard disk as admin. There is another way of getting released from this issue. You can turn the secure boot.
