I would like to thank every one that helped with this issue, but especially sebraa. You put me on the right track; especially after I was able to download a Windows program to read ext4 directories. THe linux file system was on the SD card, but it was empty.
I finally went to the ftp site at: /ubuntu/dists/trusty/image/ and downloaded another gz image file. I noticed this time that the file was much larger and almost 15GB when decompressed. I am not sure about the other files that I downloaded. And I do not know why none of them would work when I did exactly the same thing, with exactly the same SD card. THe only thing different was downloading from the ftp site!
Anyway, thank you all very much.
