Few things to remember,

Never format any card or memory stick from a computer, always do that in camera.

Dont use the same memory stick in multiple cameras.

What brand memory stick do u have, did it came along with any software to recover file, You can recover images from the card by using RescuePRO 3.0, google it to download, it comes free with certain cards & card reader from SanDisk, I used it twice to recover the lost images.
