I am using XBian alpha. I will be moving to beta very soon. Shutdown may not always be an option as the device is always connected to power. So that I can switch to XBMC without going to power supply board.

When I say card is lot, it is not just OS lost. Because, I am not able to use it for anything else after that.

I am planning to buy a power switch for raspberry. Hopefully that will make things better.

by saying lost you mean that even if you plug it into PC is not appears in devices? Or what exactly happening, can you be more specific?
Also you may try to stick the card into digital camera if you have one and to format in it
