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.
