Try "fdisk -l /dev/sdb".
If it doesn't show the partition table, then try "gpart /dev/
sdb", then try "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" again.
If it shows the partition table, then run "partprobe". If that's
not available, then install "parted".
Then try the mount.

Question:
What counts (or doesn't count) as a "partition table" in the fdisk
output?
It lists the partition.
Questions:
I have "partprobe"; I've read the man page.
1. What options (if any) do you want?
2. What goes in the [devices...] field?
Oh, I missed that. I meant to say run "partprobe /dev/sdb".
# partprobe /dev/sdb
# mount /dev/sdb /mnt
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
#
#
It does not show up in the gnome file browser. (should it?)
No errors? That's a really good sign! Anything interesting in "dmesg |
tail"?

It won't pop up anywhere. Just go to /mnt. You can click on the folder
name at the top of the window and type that in.
More progress.
Doing that brings up some files and one directory.
There should be multiple directories.
If I try to look at the properties of that directory, it says "contents
unreadable", and under that, "Unknown".
I tried opening 2 JPG files; they could not be opened.
I tried opening one text file; it could not be opened.
Is ddrescue and/or testdisk likely to help?
