I was following this answer to resolve my boot problem and when running:

sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt

I get this error:

mount: /dev/sdb already mounted or /mnt busy

The sdb is the drive which has 3 partitions:

sdb1 fat32 and the flag is set to boot
sdb2 ext4  
sdb3 linux-swap

am I selecting the right disk as stated in that answer?

If your drive already has partitions with data on them you absolutely do not want to mount the drive. You want to mount the partition:

sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
