Help SD Card Help

I'm in a world of hurt and hoping someone has a solution for me!

I took my SD Card out of my phone & plugged it into my laptop. I then took all the files from my SD card and dragged them into a folder. Next I deleted those files from the SD card so I could use it for another purpose.

After I finished this process I got rid of what I had put on the SD card for the other purpose & dragged all the Android files from that temp folder back to my SD card.

Now my phone won't recognize my SD card. The card will not mount and when I boot my phone I get a message that says "blank SD card". When I click on that message it prompts me to reformat my SD card and warns me that everything on it will be lost.

So what I'm wondering is: can I reformat the card, plug it back into my laptop, drag the files back to the SD card and all will be well?

Or is there something else I need to do?

Or am I screwed?

I even tried a CWM restore...but the restore is on the SD card so that obviously isn't an option.

At any rate, I really need some help here and I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance and direction for me.

Thanks!

From what I have read else where on other forums and what not this should work. and If not I'm sorry thats happened to you!
Let us know how it works out! GL

I was thinking that would work but wasn't sure. I'm giving it a try with your reassurance and because I really don't have anything to lose by trying it at this point...I still have all the files on my laptop.

So here goes nothing....
