The results of fsck.vfat are:
Code:
$ sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
/
Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!
The results of trying to repair the disk in gparted are:
Code:
Bad FAT: unterminated chain for \VIRTUA~1. You should run dosfsck or scandisk.
Note: I can mount the second partition (ext3) just fine. It is just the first partition that won't mount. For clarification the first partition is FAT32.
Thanks in advanced.
Post your /etc/fstab file:

Re: Can't read superblock
The problem has been solved by myself.For help for other people, FAT 1 & 2 got corrupted when i resized the partition and i fixed it (but had to delete the corrupted dirs) by running testdisk and finding the "Repair FAT" option. After that I had to run fsck to cleanup the now removable corruption. Thanks for the help any way. :D

How did you know what partition table type you had? I'm assuming I have EFI, but I have no idea.
