I haven't noticed any problems using Wubi or mounting NTFS from normal dual boot (12.04.1) with Windows 8 - fast start is enabled.
The following is from a fresh Quantal install using Wubi: bcbc@ubuntu:~$ ls -la /host/hiberfil.sys -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5065179136 Sep 19 22:49 /host/hiberfil.sys bcbc@ubuntu:~$ head -c 8 /host/hiberfil.sys | od -t x1 0000000 57 41 4b 45 09 00 00 00 0000010 bcbc@ubuntu:~$ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043149 Title: [regression since 12.04] ntfs-3g refuses to mount Windows8 not using hibernation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1043149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
