Dunno... attach the drive and give us the output of (as root):
fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Yes, you can "label" partitions to identify them :-)
Look:
stt008:~# blkid|grep sdc
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="PRUEBAS" UUID="F839-2B41" TYPE="vfat"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's my small USB flash drive (128 MiB) with just one partition on it
that's labeled "PRUEBAS" and then I can mount it by issuing:
sm01@stt008:~$ umount /media/PRUEBAS
stt008:~# mount -L PRUEBAS /media
stt008:~# mount|grep -i sdc
/dev/sdc1 on /media type vfat (rw)
How to give a label to a partition? I always make that step when
formatting the drive but it can be done afterwards with "tune2fs" or
"e2label" utilities (on ext2/3/4 based filesystems). Read man page for
detailed info on how to use them :-)
