Okay, incase anyones following this problem im having, or even has an idea 
whats going on i found sfdisk and now i got a whole knew output from that. So 
i still think im having major problem with the partition table, but i dont 
know how to fix it if fdisk want let me use the drive..

stuart at polly:~$ sudo sfdisk -V /dev/sdb
read: Input/output error

sfdisk: read error on /dev/sdb - cannot read sector 0
 /dev/sdb: unrecognized partition table type

sfdisk: no partition table present.
