You still have the old partition table on the drive when you do that. Try 

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1 

That will zero out the partition table completely, then run fdisk again. 
You'll get some warnings about there not being a partition table and stuff like 
that but those are normal for a drive without partition table. 

What model drive is it?
