Unhappy Block 0 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad


We just moved from Windows 2000 Adv. Server on our servers to SuSe Enterprise.

But since we couldn't keep the disk's filesystem (NTFS) we had to make them EXT2.

Well, everything went fairly painless untill we formated and installed EXT2 on one of the newer disks.

When trying to mount the drive we get:
Quote:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or too many mounted filesystems
Well, so I thought something went wrong in the instalaltion or formating of the drive, so we did a "lowlevel" format on the disk:
mke2fs -c -c /dev/hdb1

Took like 5hrs+.
But, result bad:
Quote:
Block 0 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad.

Well, rememberd that in the "good old" days you could change the block size and get past this problem, so I did a:
mke2fs -c -b 2048 /dev/hdb1

Got the exact same error when complete:
Quote:
Block 0 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad.


Does anyone know how to solve this?
I could use some hands on help like what to write and all cause I don't see me as anything but a newbie to Linux.

Thanks in advance
