I connected an HDD to the USB drive using a docking station.
I think the HDD is using NTFS, because it has Windows 7 installed.

Before connected the HDD:

ls /dev/ | grep sd

output was:

sda
sda1
sda2
sda3

After I connected the HDD:

ls /dev/ | grep sd

the output was:

sda
sda1
sda2
sda3
sdb

So sdb was recognized.
And this is the output of:

sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168

Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Here's an image of a screenshot of Ubuntu's Disk utility

Disks utility

where you can see that the disk is recognized but not mounted.
Or maybe it's corrupt.
