Okay, these are the two USB drives from your description. sdd works
okay, as you wrote above. sdc drive is vfat (same as sdd), so the format
of the drive shouldn't be a problem. What is the output of this command
in Ubuntu?
$> sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc

My suspicion is that there is some problem with the filesystem on sdc.
Are you able to write and read files to this drive in Ubuntu?
