I've recently set up Linux Mint on an older HP laptop. I've installed it on a 240GB SSD, while using a 1TB HDD for storage. I've successfully mounted the first partition of the HDD, but the other two require me to manually mount them every time I start my laptop. I want to know how to make sure these partitions are automatically mounted during boot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you're manually mounting the partitions without setting them up to automatically mount on boot. You should be adding entries for those partitions in the `/etc/fstab` file. This will ensure they are mounted every time you start your laptop.
Using the gnome-disk-utility (known as Disks) is a straightforward way to set your partitions to auto-mount at boot. You should check the options there to set the mount points automatically.
To get your partitions to auto-mount at startup, you'll need to edit the `/etc/fstab` file. You can do this using the terminal or with the Disks utility in the graphical interface. Just make sure you add the right entries for each partition and that they are formatted correctly. This way, they should mount automatically every time you boot up.
