/dev/hdb is the whole disk I doubt you want to mount it like this.
#dmesg | grep hdb should give you some idea whether its seen
dmesg gives me :
sudo dmesg | grep hdb
[17179574.996000] ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings:
hda:pio, hdb:pio
Seems like there's something there, but no indication that it
recognizes it as the device it is.
I would expect to see more about the disk than this eg. on my system hdb
is a dvd-rom and I get
#dmesg| grep hdb
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
hdb: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8585F, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdb: ATAPI 32X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)
Probably time to check the cables and jumpers on the disk in question,
maybe swap a few around as see what happens.
#cfdisk /dev/hdb will tell you about the partitions.
This fails with "fatal error: can not open disk drive".
It doesn't look like its recognised the disk.
As an aside I think you may benefit from installing hdparm and setting
the DMA mode of your disks to improve performance (currently pio which
IIRC is not the best).
