I have a HD that refuses to mount with a 'bad magic number in

are you ABSOLUTELY SURE that /dev/hdc2 really containt DIRECTLY the ext3
filesystem ?
By FDISK output, it looks like it is not ext3 partition, but a physical
volume controlled by LVM, so you should use LVM tools to find real data
(vgscan, vgdisplay, pvscan, lvscan, ...)
the ext3 partition you are looking for is probably on logical volume on that
LVM...
Thanks Matija. No, at this point the only thing I am sure of is I can't
mount the drive with my data.
I'm not familiar with any of the LVM tools. Here's the output of the
tools you suggested:
