Memory card problem

Hi, I wonder if anyone can advise me. I recently bought a new 16GB Sandisk Ultra 30MB/s* (10) SDHC I and photos that I have taken have disappeared without me doing anything wrong. I put the card in the card reader slot of laptop and the photos are gone. This never happened with my old 4GB Sandisk SDHC (2). Do you think the reason is that the card is incompatible?
Many thanks.

    I know from reading (the internet or on here) that if a camera is only compatible with a SDHC card then it wont be with a SDHC2 card as you say. Would have thought it wouldnt let you take any pictures.

    I know it's weird. I took photos earlier today and wanted to put them on the laptop but they were gone and now I've taken some photos and they're still there !. I'm confused.

    If you got the card cheap from Ebay, then it might be a fake one. Check it with h2testw.

    Bought from Amazon. Been in touch with them and they've asked me to send it back for a refund. That's good. Thanks to all of you that replied.

    Are the photos still there if you view through the camera?
    If at first you don't succeed, sky diving is not for you!
