Welcome to Android Central! When you removed the 16 GB card, did you unmount it first (in Settings>Storage)? Removing a card without unmounting it is like removing an SD card from your computer's card reader without Ejecting it first in Windows--it can corrupt the card if it was in the middle of writing.

Insert the 16 GB card into your computer's card reader--is it detected? If so, run chkdsk to look for bad sectors: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html

Have you tried turning off the phone and back on?
Anytime i remove my card i make sure the phone is off (and i have fastboot unchecked / disabled). Once the phone is off i take the card out and hook it to my computer and back it up, then put it back in my phone and turn the phone back on.
I never remove the card with the phone on.

After you do what B. Diddy suggests take a look at this. I just upgraded to 64 gb after Christmas and this worked for me. Good Luck.
