Does your camera recognize it? If you do a quick format from your camera then sometimes the tools can then work to recover the data. However, use this as the LAST resort because once you do this then you have changed something permanently and you won't be able to go back. You may change for the good, or the bad, and you just won't know until you try.
Also... If your camera doesn't recognize the card to format it then...
I don't know if you have a Mac or a PC (it probably doesn't make much difference). If you have a Mac sometimes the card is not recognizable and doesn't show up in the finder as you are seeing. However, if you start the Disk Utility program it will show up in the sidebar. From there you can format it and then run the recovery software on it after it shows up in the finder. Again, this is pretty last resort.
Both of these things are worth trying if you are ready to give up. (Also, you can just see if it is recognizable without formatting it just to help identify how deep your problem is.
