The tools suggested by the others are worth a try, but you can take a full
backup of the card in the device using "dd" before using any potentially
destructive tools. For example, if the device is seen as /dev/sda1, use:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=important_backup.img
That way if the tools make the situation worse, you can always reimage the
card and try again.
Cheers,
