I just installed a new HDD in my computer. I booted up and formated it in NTFS and copied about 500 GB of Videos onto it. My computer (few hours later) froze while a was watching a video off that drive. I had to do a hard reset. Upon reboot the computer tried to boot of that drive which gave me an "BOOTMBR missing" error which I than followed by changing the boot order. Now that drives doesn't show up in my Unity Taskbar (to be mounted). The Disk utility now shows that the drive has 2 unallocated partitions and 2 partitions of unknown type and content (which previously only had 1 partition).

Calling a fdisk for that drive gave me the following:
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[sudo] password for zereox:
Disk /dev/sdb: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders, total 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x2052474d
This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

I haven't tried to format the drive as I hope to save something from it, but does anyone know of how to fix it?
