The drive appears to be made up of (default layout on install) three
partitions.. sdb, sdb1 and sdb2. By mounting sdb1 I get the
directories/files detailed above and if I try to mount the other two
(sdb and sdb2) I get the following error "mount: wrong fs type, bad
option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2".

sdb isn't a partition, it's the whole drive. Are you sure sdb2 isn't
a swap partition? Is there anything in the lost+found directory? You
have to be root to read it, and the files would all be renamed to
numbers. You could use "file" to find what kind of file each one is.


Is there anything I can do to retreive my mp3? Its taken a long time
to build up that collection and Im hesitant to wipe the drive if it
can be recovered. So this mail can be summed up in one word....
"Help".
