Binary package hint: util-linux

This is in intrepid. I have a 160 GB NTFS HDD. It has some issues, but if I try to mount it or even use fdisk -l to see the contents it hangs.

Btw this is how the hard disk is laid out

Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x48254824

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 1912 15358108+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb2 1913 19457 140930212+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sdb5 1913 6083 33503526 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb6 6084 10254 33503526 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb7 10255 14425 33503526 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb8 14426 18596 33503526 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb9 18597 19457 6915951 7 HPFS/NTFS

This info. was got by doing fdisk -l /dev/sdb if I give only fdisk -l it hangs the system. Please lemme know if I can help in any way (any more information needed)
