After reinstalling RedHat Linux, how can I re-mount secondary hard drive?

I have a Redhat 9 linux system that suffered a system hard drive failure. I have reinstalled the system, would like to restore access to the secondary drive, hdb.
I try the command: mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /data
I get the error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
or too many mounted file systems

Does the disk have more than one partition? If it only had one partition, i.e. the whole disk, you might try mounting as hdb.
mount /dev/hdb /data
or
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb /data
if it has more than one partition, then the first partition is 0.
