USB Drives will not mount



Hi I can no longer mount my usb pen drive. When I run the mount vfat -t /dev/sdb /mnt/pen The commmand complains about there being a bad superblock on the usb drive. I run the dmesg command and get the message there is not a valid fat partition on /dev/sdb. 

However there is a valid file system as the drive is formatted as fat32 and the drive is seen in windows I have tried another drive with the same result 

how can I fix this as it is very annoying. I have tried to reformat and partition the drive but this will not work
