Help Internal phone storage read-only after 2.2 update?

I updated to Froyo the other morning and now all my photos and videos are gone. When I tap into Gallery it still says I have 163 photos but only my 3 newest pics after I updated show up. My internal phone storage is currently read-only which I never noticed before. I did a test and restarted the phone and quickly went to the gallery before everything booted up. I saw all my photos but when the phone storage prepared itself it went to read-only and they all disappeared.

Should I do a factory reset? I'm new to Android so I'm not a pro at this yet. I know now I should have backed up my stuff...

Any help is appreciated.
