mount: /dev/hdb1 not a mount point

I have found that the error messages from mount are relatively unreliable.

}> Hey folks, I'm having a problem mounting /dev/hdb1 which is my M$ Windog 3.11
}> partition.  I had to rebuild both Linux and Windog when my partition table
}> got hosed.  Prior to rebuilding, I could mount /dev/hdb1, now I can't and
}> can't figure it out.  dmesg gives me the following:
}> 
}> 
}What's the error you get with mount?  What does your mount command 
}look like?  What does the output of fdisk, p command look like?
}
}Jim.
