I'm trying to decipher the error message: ext2fs: #ad/0x000a: wrong magic number 0x8b6 (expected 0xef53) I've been reading man magic man file but I have limited C experience. I see the references to ext2 in /usr/share/misc/magic, particularly: 0x43a leshort ^0x001 (mounted or unclean)

After reading more man pages and the chapter Adding a Disk from UNIX System Administration Handbook, 3rd ed. by Nemieth, Snyder, Seebass and Hein, I realize that this ext2fs harddrive will best be fixed by putting back into a linux environment and proceeding with fdisk + fsck etc. cheers
