You need to use a "recovery software" (my memory card came with one for free; "lexar image rescue").
First: you can't record more photos on the memory card until you run the software (if you use or reformat the card then you might record over the "missing files, in such case there would be nothing left to recover).
Second: you run the software and you'll get report of all the files found in the card. Then you'll be given the option to recover them or not (be realistic that there are no warranties even if you use the best available software).
EDIT
By the way that's why I always carry two or three cards; I just used them on equal parts.... so if one card fails, get lost or "whatever", then I wont lose all the pictures.
EDIT
The other user is right: Canon and Nikon save the picture on different folders... so you wont be able to see the Canon files on a Nikon; and you wont be able to see the Nikon files with the Canon....if you use a card reader on the computer you could be able to see both folders (assuming that's the real problem).
Yes, it is possible to recover lost deleted formatted or corrupted pictures in your Cannon A540 or Nikon D90 digital camera memory card. This is because that photos deleted or lost after camera sd card reformat won't be erased from digital camera permanently. The image data remain stored on camera memory or memory card. Just that the pics are not readable by users now.
To recover deleted formatted photos back, you can download some photo recovery programs. One of the best one is Asoftech Photo Recovery
This camera photo recovery software is able to scan camera and find deleted formatted or corrupted photos and then recover photos with good quality. However, before lost photos are recovered, please don't save more photos to camera to prevent space of lost files to be overwritten.
When you delete pictures (or any files) from a memory card or USB memory device the data itself isn’t deleted, just the file system pointers that says where the data for those files is located. The area where the deleted picture data was stored is also now marked as free space so it is available to the system for any new files to be written there instead.
If and when that happens, then it is too late to recover your deleted pictures so it is very, very important that new pictures or files aren’t saved to the memory card in the meantime.
One of the easiest ways to see if your deleted pictures can be recovered is to try some photo recovery software.
One tip is to try a free trial version of a commercial product that will scan the memory card for deleted pictures and show you exactly what pictures can be recovered. At least that will show you if you can recover the deleted pictures or if it’s too late already.
Using a Photo Recovery software is your best option. Try Adroit Photo Recovery, worked very well for me. Connect the memory card directly to the computer through an appropriate card reader. Check - http://digital-assembly.com/products/adroit-photo-... Good Luck!!!

i recently had a card fail on me... taken over 200 shots and then there was a read failure, and had to format the card - can't remember which of those programs actually worked and pulled in all of the photos i thought i'd lost....
You will have to try to download using the Canon program. The Nikon won't recognize them. The same thing happens if you switch a card between Nikon's. Happened to me. I stuck a card from my D40 into my D60 and wouldn't recognize them. But when |I stuck it back in my D40 they showed up.

1. Do not save any new file to memory card.
2. Connect your card to computer using a card reader. You should see memory card shown as a drive letter (like H:) in Windows Explorer.
3. Download recover software, recommended one is asoftech photo recovery (simply because i was using it and it worked)

Are you trying to access it with D90? I am not sure that A540's photos were actually deleted.
Try to read it with your computer, i.e. use a Card Reader.

You try a basic card reader it should still have the Cannon folder on that card unless you formated the card if you did then they are for ever lost!
