    sounds like your sd card is ~~~~ed or needing formatting...

    i would back up your card , format it and copy the stuff back...

        Well, just came across this post. As a user who suffered similar problem with USB flash drive before. Here is the solution:

        First things first - DO NOT format the drive right away as it may make things worse.

        Then check whether the folders are in hidden mode.
        Click on "Start" -->Run-->type cmd and click on OK.
        Here I assume your memory card as G:
        Enter this command: attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* (replace the letter g with your memory card letter showed under "My Computer").
        Then check if your real files will be showed.

        If your files won't show. You have to use some strong anti-virus or anti-malware programs to eliminate the virus or trojans. If still won't help, learn more from this article:
        fix folders become shortcuts - an article gives very detailed fix solution steps. It should help you out.

        Hope it helps, best regards.
