Hu? Since when does fdisk care for and inspect partition filesystems? It
does not. It only tells you which partition type is used. It does not
tell you whether ID 83 = Linux stands for ext2 or ext3 or reiserfs.

Chris, I suspect you still have no data on the freshly create partition
hdb1. So run "mkfs.ext3 -v /dev/hdb1" to create a filesystem on it.
Maybe use additional parameters you want, besides the verbosity switch
-v.
