MOUNTING PROBLEM for 3 TB WD EXT HDD for mint 8

[Calmy2008]

Hello. I have some problem with my external hard drive. When I am connecting it to my netbook an error appears:

Code: Select all

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

So i typed dmesg | tail and got a message:

Code: Select all

vesel4ak@vesel4ak-laptop ~ $ dmesg | tail

Some guy told me that i should make 2 partitishions. All partitishions size must be smaller than 2Tb.
I tried, and it helped. BUT i need one partitishion in 3 Tb!!! 1 more thing: Also i am using this hard drive in windows(NTFS)!
Can someone help me?

Already checked by chkdsk due fat table problems/errors
One more thing: I installed mint 11 live cd and connected the Hard drive. All worked fine. But in mit8 doesnt works.

Mint 8 is no longer supported, you should consider updating to Mint 9 LTS, 10 or 11.

honestly

mint 9 10 11 would be wise

3tb hdd is a new tech, thus newer os.
