Problems copying files from USB camera

Hi. I have an HP Photosmart 635 that I have just mounted by doing, #mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/hp

I am able to access the camera's hard drive now, however when I try to copy the pictures to a local directory i get this error:

Code:

cp: reading `hpim0488.jpg': Input/output error

It seems to copy the file to the directory however when I try to view the picture with qiv I get this error:

Code:

pat@Abena pics $ qiv hpim0488.jpg 
gdk_imlib ERROR: Cannot load image: hpim0488.jpg
All fallbacks failed.

I have also tried kview and get this error:

Code:

pat@Abena pics $ kview hpim0488.jpg 
QMetaObject::findSignal:KViewViewer: Conflict with KImageViewer::Viewer::imageOpened(const KURL& )
QMetaObject::findSignal:KViewViewer: Conflict with KImageViewer::Viewer::imageOpened(const KURL& )
kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle '/home/pat/pics/hpim0488.jpg'

I have changed the permissions so that regular users can access the files but that doesn't help anything. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

well, it turns out that the disk became corrupted. Luckily I only lost one picture and was able to retrieve the rest on Windows. I formatted the disk, took some pics, remounted, and it worked.
