[ubuntu-za] NTFS issuse

[Dewald Noeth]

I tried teh following:
queery at WURK:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb3 /media/data1
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb3': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdb3' 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?

Also took it to a windows computer and redid the unmounting (safely
remove), still no luck
