Can't mount any partition

Question

this problem occurred before and somehow got fixed automatically.No partition is mounting. I have ubuntu16.04 dual boot with windows 8.1

Do you literally mean that none of the partitions mount? That would mean that the / (root) partition is also not mounting and Ubuntu is not booting. Rather, do you mean that external drives that you attach are not being automatically mounted? — b_laoshi, Apr 25 '17 at 02:11
Are these external partitions NTFS or EXT4 or something else? — Sumeet Deshmukh, Apr 25 '17 at 02:19
Please give more information. Exactly how do you try to mount what and what's the error you get? — Sethos II, Apr 25 '17 at 05:40
How exactly are you trying to mount partitions and what happens when you do? What's the output of sudo lsblk -f? — David Foerster, Apr 25 '17 at 11:47

Boot your PC initially in windows 8.1, then restart (don't force shutdown by pressing power button) and boot into your ubuntu 16.04, it should work fine.
