Error trying to mount

I am trying to partition and mount a hard drive onto my /hdd folder to use. Every time I try mounting it I get,
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or somkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
mkfs.ext3: inode_size (128) * inodes_count (0) too big for a
filesystem with 0 blocks, specify higher inode_ratio (-i)
or lower inode count (-N).

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
And when I try making a ext3 filesystem i get
[root@m1725 /]# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)

hard to tell from the formatting, but doesn't look like you have a valid partition on the disk
Is there away to reformat that drive without reformatting the server ?
If you just want 1 partition you can just do "mkfs"
@snuckertastic try to remove the partition and create it as primary partition, reboot and mkfs then
3TB drive? fdisk can't handle larger than 2TB partitions.. you need to use parted and GPT partition table.
gdisk will work just fine.
