Once you get it back the way it was (mountable and readable but not writeable), see if you are able to write to it as root. If so, you can add an option to the mount command (or to /etc/fstab) that will allow other users to write to it. > pdisk: Bad data in block 2 from '/dev/sdb' This suggests to me that you may have hosed the partition map on /dev/sdb. If so, you can use pdisk or parted to write a new one and to create a partition where the old one used to be (if you know where it was) without erasing the filesystem data it contains, but I'd proceed extremely carefully and with the close supervision of somebody familiar with the procedure, as a mistyped character can destroy your whole universe.
