I've got two 2TB drivess: one MBR and the other GPT.

sudo blckid /dev/sdb1

returns a blank.

gdisk shows:

Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

Warning! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by 1970 blocks!
You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility.

Disk /dev/sdb: 3907027055 sectors, 1.8 TiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 38A1113D-B5E9-4B69-ABFF-ACB27AFB3DDD
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 3907027021
Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries

Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size       Code Name
  1              34       262177   128.0 MiB  0C01 Microsoft reserved part
  2          264192   3907028991   1.8 TiB    0700 Basic data partition

mounting via fstab or -t gives same error when using NTFS or NTFS-3g "NTFS signature is missing"

GParted says one partition is overwriting another, yet windows shows no errors at all. The drive is also mounted easily via MacOs (triple boot)
