First: don't panic - the pics are definitely there! The numbers you refer to simply indicate the 'speed' of the card - newer cards write and read faster and have higher numbers in the circle.
Did you format the card in the camera when you first used it? The camera may write some 'housekeeping' info on the card as well as the photos. What setting did you use for the new card:- RAW or JPEG and what make is your camera?
With a card reader connected to your computer, use Windows explorer to find the folders on the card and identify the folder which contains your photos. If they are JPEGs, does explorer display 'thumbnails' of you photos correctly? If so, copy the files to a directory on your hard drive and see if Lightroom will work on them from there. You could also try viewing the files in the free IrfanView software, which can cope with a very wide range of file formats and can convert between formats, so you could use this program to create files that Lightroom can read.
If all else fails, try the free Zero Assumption Recovery software, which will scan the card for any image data. It can even recover deleted files and those on an accidentally re-formatted card - a real 'get out of jail' program! See

Good luck and feel free to PM me if you need more info.
