So, basically, from one day to another, my external HDD is not being auto mount in Ubuntu 16.04
I did not make any change in the OS The only change I've made it's that I bought a new cable for the external HDD cause the previous one was loosy.
This is the output of fdisk -l
I reckon that the sdb1 it's for the external disk

NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.

I've also connected to a Windows computer. It detects correctly the USB Driver, but on "My Computer" the disk appears with no info at all. I've run chkdisk /f x: (where x is the disk unit) and the test said it fail basically. And reboot Windows twice. No change at all.
