Hi Josh!

What does it say about the card in Disk Management (you can post a screenshot)? Also, you're saying that you need those files, if this is the case, formatting the SD card is out of the question. I'd recommend that you try the memory card with a different computer or device, to see if it's properly recognized. If that doesn't help, try accessing it via Ubuntu Live USB (this a freeware, bootable, portable version of Linux), to see if the card is properly recognized and if you can get to your files and back them up. Another option would be to try out data recovery software: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1644496/lost-data-recovery.html and http://pcsupport.about.com/od/filerecovery/tp/free-file-recovery-programs.htm...

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
