8.04 mounting second drive help

[jack wallen]

Hello all.

I just did an update from 7.10 to 8.04. All went well with one very 
important exception. I have a data drive that houses all of my important 
data. In 7.10 it was /dev/hdb mounted on /data with the command mount 
/dev/hdb1 /data. Now, obviously it is seen as /dev/sdb. But if I try to 
mount the drive with the command sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /data I am getting 
this error:

mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist

but if I look on gparted I can clearly see the device. Even in dmesg I see:

[   32.115602] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors 
(80026 MB)
[   32.115615] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off

[   32.115707] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: 
enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

So can someone please help me get this device mounted? I've tried 
everything I can think of. It is pretty critical that I get it mounted. 
My latest backup of the drive is about a week old and that's not recent 
enough (I know - my mistake on that point.)

Thank you for any help you can give me.
