I haven't tried it myself, or looked at the livecd-iso-to-disk code,
but are you sure that you want /dev/sdc1 and not /dev/sdc?

/dev/sdc1 is the first partition on your third SCSI drive (which
includes USB storage).

/dev/sdc in your entire third SCSI drive.

Unless you write a boot sector to the first 512 bytes of /dev/sdc, you
will get exactly the error you are seeing.

Hope that helps,

Don Quixote
