It may be that what he did is to manually put a file .journal into the
root of the filesystem and then hope that that would be used as the
journal. 
So, If he added that .journal file himself, he should remove it, and
then he should use tune2fs -j on that partition, and then reboot. 
Then he will have an ext3 filesystem. 

As usual he has not given us enough information to tell what it was he
did.
