You should contact SanDisk.
Or txtm8, I don't know what that it is, but that is where your Media Card was when it went bad?

Hi and welcome to the forums
Please clarify this statement: "Then I put it in my txtm8 when I switched to cricket."
I'm not familiar with the term. Thanks! 
Can you read any file type on the media card. Media, documents, etc?
Have you ever left the device plugged into the USB port on the PC and run and virus scans
or malware software on the PC? I have seen those type of programs affect the media card as well.
At the home screen select options, security options, Encryption. On or off?
Also check content compression, should be off.
At the home screen, select options, memory, check the following options.
Media card support ON
Encryption mode NONE
Media transfer protocol ON (Storm and Bold only)
Mass storage support ON
Auto enable Mass storage support when connected ON.
You cannot right click on the drive icon "E" in your example, to access tools, try using the Blackberry repair option. I have included links for encryption and content compression.
It may be that the card is incorrectly seated in the device.
From your description though, I suspect it's toast. Sorry!
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,
Bifocals

Ouch. If your normal disc and file recovery tools won't extract the files or data... not good.
We still don't know what a txtm8 is and what it might have done to your Media Card.

Well it's a shame he was not American, but are you sure of that? Is that important?
I am not, and I do not know how to spell the name of that city by heart. I'm sure that's not evidence of my stupidity or lack of knowledge.
It is possible, from what you say, that this person did not have enough knowledge to help you, it's a shame and hopefully you will find people (American or not, good at spelling city names or not).
And remember that your BlackBerry device is designed by a Candian company (Research in Motion) that is lead by two men, one of which comes from Turkey.
On the other side of your issue, you have Sandisk that was created in 1988 by two doctors that at the time were not US citizens : Eli Harari and Sanjay Mehrotra.
I'm french from vietnamese origins.
Now about your issue. All SD cards, including micro SD cards, use an internal controller that deals with all the datas written on your card. It's like a file system, but specific to the SecureDigital world. That controller on very exceptionnal occasions can fail entirely. In those cases, you can find dozens of programs for Wndows that allow you to reconstruct the "table of content" of your files on the SD card (you may lose the file names and the folder hierarchy though). Currently, your data is there but Windows is only trying to fetch the "table of content" instead or trying to read the data.
>>> With a recovery tool, the recovery success is usually over 90% <<<.
You can google for such tools, some are free. I cannot help you choose one because I never had to use any. An example is this one:
http://www.cardrecovery.com/sd-recovery/
I would like to know what are the tools that you have already tried too.
Good luck and tell us if you eventually manage to recover your personal files.
(I am currently doing a backup of my microSD card thanks to your question, thanks for reminding me)
