Ubuntu 16.04 does not recognize second HDD

Question

I installed a HDD as second drive. I want to use it as a backup. But or one or the other reason Ubuntu doesn't want to recognize it although I did all the instructions I could find on the forum.

Pls some more advice.

root@jan-desktop:~# lsblk

Partial answer... work in progress...

I still need the terminal output of...

mount | grep "/dev/sd"
sudo blkid
sudo cat /etc/fstab
sudo fdisk -l
sudo lsblk

* screenshot of gparted /dev/sdb

To try and manually mount the drive...

In terminal...

• sudo umount /hdd
• mkdir /media/jan/hdd
• mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /media/jan/hdd

Later... we edit /etc/fstab to make disk automount at boot...

• gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
• add UUID={incomplete_answer} /media/jan/hdd ext4 defaults 0 2
• save file and quit gedit
• reboot
