It sound like your partition map is messed up. Try using "cfdisk" and
see if it can handle it. Other wise clear the partition map by
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb count=1 bs=512
*I am assuming you don't want the data on this drive and are trying to
start from scratch. Don't do the above dd command if you still want
whats on the drive. It won't delete it, but it will make the data hard
to find.

what does it say when you try run the executable? Could the drive be
mounted "noexec". Of course this doesn't matter much if you are going to
repartition and start over?
