I get:
ams-it:/home/mark# fdisk -l /dev/hdb1
Disk /dev/hdb1: 200.0 GB, 200047002624 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24320 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk /dev/hdb1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
That does look promising... Can one fix a partition table?

Yep, shoudl I try a second time, marking it again and rebooting again?

I've never had that problem as well. Although I have other problems:
turning off services inetd without warning, or overwriting config
files without any option... But that is besides the point ;-)

Hell no! I will not up to the point that I will be sleep-deprived ;-)
