You guys may be attacking this from the wrong direction. If fdisk can't see the disk then there's no point trying to mount anything on it.

However: Did you actually enter ' fdisk -l /dev/hdb ' or something different?

Disk /dev/hdb5: 1087 MB, 1087898112 bytes
64 heads, 63 sectors/track, 526 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 = 2064384 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb5p1 ? 1 1 0 0 Empty
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(0, 0, 1)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(1065220, 4, 4)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

This is what it shows. Any thoughts?
