I hate to say it but your problem has nothing to do with the partition table problems people were having. It seems like your table is fine. Have you tried manually adding the partition to fstab? I mean why is it failing? Does a mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /mount/Windows work for instance? Just saying

Sure. Make sure that your file table is correct and in proper order. That was my initial problem. I believe that I used cfdisk to show the partitions. Make sure that any extended partitions only contain logical drives. I had a logical drive somehow marked as a primary partition. Changing the bit

I'd still try to delete that extended partition and recreate it. Sounds like your partition table is pretty screwed to me. Rewriting it with windows or something might help. I don't think anything will work for you without changes to the table somehow. Unallocated space doesn't just suddenly

Yeah I meant Wubi. Try deleting them in windows since it sees all the partitions and can probably manipulate them without issue. I'm guessing that it was a windows install on that disk anyways to begin with. I've never seen a partition table that cfdisk couldn't mangle back together so all I can
