As Tom said, FAT is pretty well explained in a lot of places on the
net. The article that I pointed to certainly explained your situation
quite well to my satisfaction when I first found it. 

It does seem strange that you can't see anything on the first physical
block of the card, since the pointer to the block containing the FAT
boot record is located near the end of the first physical block on the
card right around byte 454.
