That second line bugs me. /dev/hdb1 should be 03:65 according to my /dev/
directory.
Could you give us
ls -la /dev/hdb*

Also, depending on how the original machine was setup, /dev/hdb1 might be
a diagnostic or hibernation partition. Try mounting /dev/hdb2.
If that fails, could we have fdisk -l /dev/hdb ?
