Agree Brain's comments. And you can use "select x" internal cmd of DiskPart tool followed by "inspect" internal cmd to check the disk partition info

I can't say I'm an expert at disk devices.... But 'fsx' will only be shown once there is a valid partition table and file system on the device. Before that point, it will only show up as 'blkx'.
