I'm not clear what you mean by "seems to want to mount it as ext3" here. When 
you run the mount command with "-t ext4" it mounts as ext3? Are you sure that 
the data is ext4 format? Is this a partition of some LVM creation?

Did you specify this data when you did the install? You may have already 
formatted it?

Clarification, please?
