How to make partitions mount at startup in Ubuntu gnome 16.04?

Solution 1:

All info above is good - but this is the EASIEST

Use the Disks application - already part of Ubuntu 14.04/16/04, click on the partition, click on the little cog wheel under - for settings. And then Edit Mount Options

• change settings to NOT start automatically
• mount at startup

Solution 2:

All your options to mount partitions are covered in this page.

Ensure you use the UUID for your drive, as directed in the linked page.

Edit: As noted by another member, do not mount your Windows partition that has your OS on it as RW, make sure it's Read-Only! Other partitions that are only used as storage can be Read/Write. I had originally assumed you meant storage drives, not OS drives. Edited for clarity.
