I honked my mouse up into the top left corner of the screen, as you do 
in Gnome, and typed "disks" in the search box. And, to quote General 
Melchett, "Well bugger me with a fishfork" if there wasn't an application 
called Disks just waiting for me.

(there was, so no need to... anyway)

It reports that my correctly working disk has a partition type of 83 
(linux) while the partly-broken one reports a partition type of W95 
FAT32 (LBA) -- suggesting it really is in a bit of an old mess after my 
half-assed initial format. I've seen enough -- I'll wipe and re-format 
it, and have patience this time (doing that now).
