Just did a fresh install of Mythbuntu 9.04. Previously was using 8.04 and things were working just fine. I have 2 of the same hard drive but one mounts, the other will not. Here is all the relevant information I can find, is there anyway to restore my drive?
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda /var/lib/mythtv/videos/VHD2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
dmesg | tail

(As a side note, why does sdb not contain a valid partition table but still work just fine?)

Any and all feedback is appreciated, I have no experience with hard drive issues like this so far.
