How do I automount partitions on ubuntu?

You can add entrys in /etc/fstab and they will mount at boot.

Will help

This tutorial is for mounting windows. I am not trying to change what OS
boots up I just want my third partition to mount automatically. In any
event I don't know enough to understand what they are doing in those
instructions in order to extrapolate a solution of my own. If I am to use
terminal and fstab I would need more detailed information.

To edit the /etc/fstab file is always dangerous if you are not very familiar with Linux configuration.
I would advise you to try what is in the software center:

I searched for "partition" and the third item looks fine to me: MountManager. Or look for "pysdm", it seems even easier.

If the partition is readable from windows it will be NTFS or FAT32, either way if you want them to mount you will need to edit fstab or use pysdm if you prefer a gui. The gui will get you working faster but you will learn a lot less about the OS. Your call.
