# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /media
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
root@ubuntu:~# dmesg | tail

Are you sure it's ext3? If so, run fsck on it, see if that helps.
One more thing - you are using Arch, right?

If so it would be nice for my dmesg to show the times too sometimes it would be helpful. Any way to do that?
@SmarterChild
Why not try to mount it without forcing the file system type? Mount usually guesses right, it only fails to do so when things go terribly wrong or I'm doing something wrong.

Show the output of "fdisk -l".
And "root@ubuntu"? Seriously?

Try to mount by command:
mount /dev/sda3 /media
That's may help
