Of hand, it looks like you did something like "mke2fs /dev/sdb". While this is valid, it creates a drive without a partition table. This causes problems for the auto-mount software. While you could manually mount a drive set up this way, you are better using parted to create a partition table, a partition that spans the entire drive, and formatting it. You will probably find that one of the GUIs for parted is easier to use. You may have gparted or qtparted installed.
