mkfs.ext3: inode_size (128) * inodes_count (0) too big for After you ran sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1 , and deleted the existing partitions by hitting the d key and creating a new one by hitting n, did you choose 'p' (primary) or 'e' (extended). If you chose 'e', re-run the command and choose 'p' instead. That should solve your problem.
