I tried your suggestion of   mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera (my dir name) 
and it comes up with an error that states I have to tell it what file 
system it is.  Although in my fstab listings I used auto.  But I do 
 have a multi reader with three distinct slots.  I only am using the one 
slot for the kodak mem.  I'll have to play around and see if using a 
different /sda will help.  Thanks for the help, Maureen
