General Discussion: Cannot determine partition type - Sleuthkit

Hi there everyone, OK, I have been trying to determine the offset of the file system on my usb by entering the following commands: fsstat, mmls and fls. I keep getting the following errors: $ sudo fsstat -o /dev/sdc Invalid image offset (tsk_parse: invalid image offset: /dev/sdc) $ sudo mmls -o /dev/sdc Invalid image offset (tsk_parse: invalid image offset: /dev/sdc) $ fls -o /dev/sdc Invalid image offset (tsk_parse: invalid image offset: /dev/sdc) sansforensics@siftworkstation:~/Desktop/Programs$ Then I have been using these commands on their own and I keep getting "Cannot determine Partition type". Like: sansforensics@siftworkstation:~/Desktop/Programs$ sudo mmls /dev/sdc Cannot determine partition type. So I think I understand the problem. Only certain partition types such as DOS are recognized and I guess my usb stick is not one of them. The only thing I want to know is: How do I fix it so that it DOES recognize it? I have looked around. Somebody mentioned something about carving? What is that supposed to do and how does one do it? Thanks in advance, Michael
