i'm not quite sure what you mean here, can you give an example of the
``random'' data, and what you would have expected to see?

linux native (0x83) is what you would use for an ext2 partition. linux
extended is a portion of drive that would have other, logical,
partitions placed inside. in practice, i have never seen this used, as
the ``normal'' extended (0x05?) is used.
