That's right ET! I am very bad! I need to be punished. NOt by you though.
Find me a cute Asian chick to.... ohhhh... I need to get my mind out of the
gutter!

Anyways:
tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 says Bad magic number in super-block while trying to
open /dev/sda1
out of curiosity I decided to run this with my other partitions and all of
them returned the bad magic number error except sda3 (that is my clones
drive. sda2 is swap.

And I ran this command:

     dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null;dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null

and the reply was:

     55285760+0 records in

     781250000+0 records in

so what? is this hexadecimal or something?
