What command did you use for mke2fs?

Please do:  fdisk -l 
and tell us what it says about your target partition.

Did you tell mount which partition to mount?
For example, to mount /dev/hda3 at /hd you would do:
--------------------
mount /dev/hda3  /hd
--------------------
Please note: that will only work if there is a filesystem
on /dev/hda3.  That is what mke2fs does -- it puts a
filesystem on the partition (but you have to tell mke2fs
exactly which partition to put the filesystem on).

Please tell us more about what you are doing.  
I am sure we can solve your problem.

Cheers,
