Try this:
    dd if=/dev/sda1 of=test bs=1024 count=2
    file test

This will copy the first 2k of the card and put it in a file.  file will 
then tell you what it thinks it is.

   You formatted it in windows.  What version of windows?  Is it XP? 
 IIRC this default to a variant of NTFS and you will need a seperate 
package to read it.
