It says you have a 1 TB Win95 FAT32 partition. I didn't think you could make them that big. What I would try is to use parted or gparted to delete the partition table and create new partitions that reflect how you are planning to use the drive. MAKE SURE you change the drive to /dev/sdb before deleting the partition table. Also, if you have any data you want on the second drive, back it up before doing anything. If you can, use gparted instead of parted. Parted is a command line utility and can be harder to use. One you have partitioned and formated the drive, you will have to add it to /etc/fstab if you want it mounted automatically. (I forget the GUI tool that does that - I just edit it by hand...) You may be able to mount the partition on /dev/sdb1 if you really want to. Use something like this to see if it has a valid file system on it. As root, or using sudo, run: mkdir /tmp/mnt mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/mnt If it mounts, you have a valid file system on the drive. If the system can't determine the file system, then it probably isn't formatted. Have fun.
