I cannot mount my digital camera

So I have very old and crappy digital camera HP Photosmart 433. I use it for reading memory cards on my pc. So I plug the usb cable..

mount: special device /dev/sdb does not exist
[root@marduk ~]# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda4  /dev/sda5

I can enter via windows xp in virtual box, I see the files, bet when I try to copy them, it hangs up.
How to make that god damn thing work?

Re: I cannot mount my digital camera

If you<ve only got pictures on that memory card, then I suggest trying to use a program like gtkam (if using GNOME) or digikam (if using KDE) or something similar to download the pictures.

I doubt that you could mount your camera as a partition, since the kernel doesn<t recognize a partition table on the device.
