[SOLVED]Can't mount USB Flashdrive.

I cannot use my Flash Drive in Linux anymore. I've flashed Arch using Win32ImageWriter, installed it, but now, a few days after, I wanted to use it for something else, but it does not mount.
I've opened KDE Partition Manager, my Flash Drive shows up, but it reports a 2.74 PiB size, even though it's just 8 GB.

dmesg | tail  -n10 has the following output:

[ 2302.625827] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off
[ 2302.625836] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00
[ 2302.626571] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page present
[ 2302.626580] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[ 2302.631614] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page present
[ 2302.631629] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[ 2302.634768]  sdc:
[ 2302.640141] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page present
[ 2302.640154] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[ 2302.640161] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk

Yeah, it does not report any partitions, even though I've formatted it in Windows like 10 times, tried to create a bootable GParted USB, copied a bunch of random files.
What can I do? All this happened after Win32ImageWriter, worked fine under Linux Distros before.

Help will be appreciated, Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED]Can't mount USB Flashdrive.

Updating from Linux 3.3.4 solved my problem.
