You need to create the journal, use the correct utility listed below.
Do NOT use fdisk to do this!!!!!
Once the journal is created, you then edit fstab, unmount the partition, 
and mount as ext3.


-- 5.2 Converting ext2 filesystems
        An ext2 filesystem maybe converted to ext3 by creating a journal file
        on it.  To do this, run

                   tune2fs -j /dev/hdXX

        on the target filesystem.  The filesystem is now ext3!
        Note that the filesystem need not be unmounted for this operation.

5.3 Creating new ext3 filesystems
        Simply run
                   mke2fs -j /dev/hdXX
        to create a new ext3 filesystem on that device.
