When you open lighttable, you'll see an "import" function top left directly under the darktable logo. Click on "import and you'll see two possibilities; "image..." and "folder...".  Assuming that you're looking for a folder on your camera, click on "folder...".  When the folder window pops up, look for your camera and find the folder on your camera that contains your images.  Piece of cake!

Hi Jim,
You will find the Scan For Devices button in the left uppermost
part of lighttable view. Make sure you have scrolled up there!!
There you will find the Import section with the tabs Picture and directory. 
That is it.
This is how it looks, there is nothing to scroll, no button:

Why not copy your photos from your camera to your hdd and then
import them (directory button) to your DT database in a second step?
Besides your problem might be that your windows as well as DT want
to simultaneously acces your camera via usb. That probably daesn't
work. If you for reasons I don't know have to directly import from
you camera try to disconnect your camera from Windows (little icon
in your taskbar I think - I am on Linux). This way DT could have
exclusive access to your camera. At least that is the way it works for 
tethering.
Thanks  to  all  here  helping  me.  I guess best would be to copy the
photos from my SD to my photos folder on my harddisk.
