Error. fdisk should be directed to a disk (/dev/hdc),
not to a partition (/dev/hdc1). If you direct it to
a partition, you will get garbage.

That's the garbage.

Not necessarily. The only meaningful result is this one:
----------------------------------------------------------
Disk /dev/hdc: 32 heads, 63 sectors, 528 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 1 527 531184+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
----------------------------------------------------------
It appears that the partition is still there.

Don't do anything drastic. It may be possible to recover
the partition.
