Also make sure hdb3 isn't an extended partiton with one or more logical 
partions inside it. As root,
fdisk -l /dev/hdb
and it'll tell you the tagged partition types. Mind you you can have 
unformatted/corrupt partitions, ext2 in a fat32-typed partiton, etc but 
this is unusual and (unsuprisingly) quite broken.
