   As root:   
      
       file -s /dev/sde1   
      
   should report any recognizable filesystem on that partition. If it just   
   says “data”, then you’re in trouble ...   
      
       fdisk -l /dev/sde   
      
   should report some information about the partition setup on the entire   
   disk.   
      
   If the file command reports a valid-looking filesystem, you can also try   
   manually mounting the disk into a temporary mount point, e.g.   
      
       mount -o ro /dev/sde1 /mnt   
      
   (note the option to do it reaonly, just in case) and hopefully get a   
   better message than “unknown error”.
