make and model the camera is and also the operating system your computer uses. Tell us exactly what you did to get the "disks is emty" message.
Often the camera will come with a handy dandy USB cable that allows you to attach the camera to the computer and simply read it like you would an external USB flash drive.
Sometimes the camera has removable flash media (SD, SDHC, XD, etc.) and in this case you can make use of a flash media reader to access the pictures.
