Disk /home/one/sdc.img: 32085377024B
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

- The key things above are to change the unit to bytes
- Divide the bytes of the starting point of your partition by 512 (because that's how many bytes per sector you get normally when dding a device)
With dd set the blocksize: bs=512 (since our blocksize with this image is 512). The count will be the size 32081182720 bytes/4= 32081182720
So 4194304 bytes/512=8192 (is our start or skip=8192 with dd)
dd if=sdc.img skip=8192 bs=512 count=8020295680 of=sdc1.img
After that it's a matter of mounting it:
mount -o loop sdc1.img mountlocation
