ok so there is a partition table entry, now lets see if the file command 
thinks there is a file-system on that partition.
As root do:-
file -s /dev/hdc1
and you should get a reply telling you that there is file-system data.
If that seems correct you might care to check the consistency of the 
file-system with:-
fsck.vfat -n /dev/hdc1
The -n flag will check the file-system, but not make any changes.
fsck.vfat --help   will give you the whole gamut of options.

Get back to us with the results.
