Hi Edwin,
Looks like you tried to fsck the whole drive, rather than the partition
you formatted (fsck is a filesystem check, not a block device check).
i.e. fsck /dev/hdb, when you should have fsck /dev/hdb1.
Superblocks and bagic numbers are aspects of the ext filesystem. Since
(I'm guessing) you're pointing it at the wrong place, things aren't where
it expects.
Cheers,
- Simon
