Full Discussion: Unrecognized disk label of a external HD

I also get this message when I try to mount the HD. I tried with and without the force option.

Code:
~ $ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb /media/hd-ntfs -o force
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdb' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

It has a NTFS partition. I use it in both windows xp and Linux Mint which is very similar to Ubuntu.
