If you can no longer see the pictures on the camera then most likely they have been lost but just maybe you'll be able to recover them with one of the following. Just remember that if you have a [b]Card Reader[/b] to always remove any cards from it before rebooting 99 times out of 100 there will be no affect but you can guarantee on the 1 in a 100 that something does go wrong it will be with something really important that is not replaceable.

One of the above programs should be able to recover the data if it hasn't been overwritten.
Just remember to save any recovered files to your HDD and not the the Memory Card.
