I'm not great with linux but yea i typed that...sorry if I wrote it wrong
try
mke2fs -j =/dev/sdc
or
mke2fs -j =./dev/sdc
or
mke2fs -j ./dev/sdc
or
mke2fs -j /dev/sdc -j
or
mke2fs =/dev/sdc -j
If those don't work (you don't need the 1 unless its multipartioned) try the "mke2fs --help" command and read that
If you still can't get it to work write back and I'll try it again on my system (Don't want to leave you hanging on your investment
)
(BTW mke2fs -j /dev/sdc literally equates to "format device located on USB - use jornalling (the basis of EXT3))
POST the correction if you find it yourself THANKS
