Your welcome. Here is some more info.
cfdisk (util-linux-ng 2.14.1)
Disk Drive: /dev/hdb
Size: 80026361856 bytes,
80.0 GB
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63

ext3 [backup] 80023.75
That partition is labeled "backup" on there. It is a drive I am not
using so I could umount it to set the label.
Hope that helps.
