Copying worked and I can write to the file just fine.
However, I would like to fix the problem.
My first step is to find out the type of file allocation table (from linux).
Is there anyway someone could tell me about this?

"file allocation table", or FAT for short is a type of filesystem. What you mean is "find out what type of filesystem" is on the device. Just to be precise :-)

Well you could try to mount the filesystem and then issue a mount command without arguments.
Example:

mkdir /mnt/disk1
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/disk1
mount

mount will figure out by itself which type of filesystem resides on /dev/sda2.
