    Try 'cfdisk -z' on it and see what you get.

    Barring that, take a look at other drives. Mine have been known to show
    up as one thing in the logs and end up somewhere else. They've also been
    known to skip devices, so I have sda, sdb, sde, sdf and so forth instead
    of having them in order. This varies, so they might end up in order and
    they might not.

    Try 'fdisk -l /dev/sd?' changing '?' to a letter to designate the
    device.
