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

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

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! ;-)
