Ubuntu is capable of reading and writing files stored on Windows
formatted partitions, but partitions must be 'mounted' before they can
be accessed each time you start up the system. With these steps, you can
auto mount the drives or partitions without the need to manually mount
them for access.
-
Install Storage Device Manager if it has not been added.
-
Go to Applications (or Main Menu) > Ubuntu Software Center.
-
Enter pysdm in the Search Box.
-
Select Storage Device Manager, click the "Install" button.
-
Go to System > Administration > Storage Device Manager.
-
Extend the list of sda and select the sda you want to auto mount, click 'OK' to configure.
-
Click the "Assistant" button.
-
Uncheck "Mount file system in read only mode" and keep "The file system is mounted at boot time" checked.
-
Click the "Mount", "Apply" then "Close" button, and restart the system.
In case you wish to remove the auto-mount of a certain drive or
partition, you can similarly use Storage Device Manager to do the
setting.

If you need to identify disk partitions by label, paste
ls /dev/disk/by-label -g in Terminal, or to view partition sizes and file systems, enter
sudo fdisk -l. Disk Utility mentioned in "
Name or Label a Partition" also gives you a glance of device numbers, partition types, sizes and labels.
