I have formatted USB stick and now I can't mount it.
Command sudo fdisk -l
outputs this (shortened to only show info about sdc and sdc1):
Disk /dev/sdc: 8075 MB, 8075120640 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 7701 cylinders, total 15771720 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk /dev/sdc1: 208 MB, 208666624 bytes

/dev/sdc1p1 * 0 407551 203776 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS
If I try to mount sdc1 with sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt
the output is:
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdc1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
EDIT:
Output of command sudo lsblk -f
is:
NAME FSTYPE LABEL MOUNTPOINT
sda
├─sda1 ext4 /
├─sda2
└─sda5 swap [SWAP]
sdb
├─sdb1
└─sdb5 ext4 /media/disc_d

Best Answer
You formatted the USB disk wrongly: it has a Hidden HPFS/NTFS partition.
gparted
device
and choosecreate partition table
and choosemsdos
and choose "format to" and take FAT32
Done! ;-)
