Sometimes when I boot my kali live usb, I face this issue: "Failed to mount Windows SSD".
Another reason why I hate windows..
I use the drive in windows, particularly the C:\ drive to store the info I gather during my missions.
This is because my USB is really old and only has a capacity of 16GB and is almost full after the ISO file was etched into it.

This happens when the disk is in a "dirty" state, due to Windows not shutting down cleanly, or the disk being corrupted.
One of the causes for this is the "Fast Startup" feature in Windows.
cmdchkdsk C: /f /r).Y and press Enter, then restart your computer to let the scan complete.Note:
It may take a while for windows to complete fixing the errors. I will update this post when I get to know more about why this happens and how to avoid it, if that is a possibility. But for now that is not a priority.
