Important questions

How does it appear in XP as fat32 or NTFS or .....
Has the disk any data on it ?
Has it ever been partitioned or formatted ?
How big is the device MB/GB

No entries in the partition table suggest it has not been partitioned or
formatted.

BUT

I do have a USB stick that mounts as /dev/sdc 
/dev/sdc on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uhelper=hal,uid=202,utf8,shortname=lower)
I believe this to be unusual !!
