Newbie questions (IR & SATA)

Banana Pi SBCs design BPI-M2 Ultra / BPI-M2 Berry(A40i)

Hi, I’m a new owner of BPI M2 Ultra. Installed Raspbian Stretch and tried to test IR remote - unfortunatelly it doesn’t detect any key I’ve pressed. Then tried connecting my 3,5’ HDD into SATA port. I can see HDD under fdisk -l, but cannot mount it. HDD format is ext4 so there shouldn’t be any problems I think. I have external power (12V), so only connected SATA. Also getting a lot of errors from HDD when launching my BPI.

Thanks in advance for answers. Regards
