How to recovery the data inside my hard drive? New to Ubuntu

Question

My computer recognizes my 2tb Green WD on bios but not inside any OS I have installed (I'm running dual boot Windows 10 / Ubuntu 15.10). What I wanna do is make it so Ubuntu let me access it and take my stuff out it, then format is and use it as a shared partition between Ubuntu and Windows. The help I'm asking for right now is how to make Ubuntu show the driver in the files app so that I can retrieve data from it.

Here is the sudo sfdisk -luS command:

As you can see at the end, it knows that the 2tb WD is there, I just don't know why it can't read it, sorry I'm new to this kind of stuff. Any help is appreciated.

Also I'm not sure what this means at the end "Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary."

Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.

You may want to post the output of sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt — mikewhatever, Mar 25 '16 at 23:17
Here is what I got: `mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.` — Alexandre Krabbe, Mar 25 '16 at 23:25
Try another one: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt. If that doesn't work, try repairing the filesystem with sudo fsck.vfat -y -v /dev/sdb1. — mikewhatever, Mar 25 '16 at 23:31
The first command did not work. Here is the output of the second command: fsck.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16) Logical sector size is zero. — Alexandre Krabbe, Mar 25 '16 at 23:38
I'll try that as soon as I finish running a data recovery tool. Thank you from trying to help me, once I have a feedback I will post it here. — Alexandre Krabbe, Mar 26 '16 at 00:07
