hi my name is Michael and I'm back with more practical data solutions and I'm very happy to see you back on the channel I know that if you have discovered this video most likely you're quite worried about the data you might just have lost with your corrupted micro SD card but we have a solution with recovery so without further ado let's get started SD cards are very portable and great for storing any kind of data we have them in cameras in action cameras on your smartphone they were using for storing all sort of data like documents photos music video files and so on problem is when these buddies get corrupted unfortunately most of us fail to recognize the pre failure conditions for micro SD cards so we can sum up the symptoms into a few main groups very often an SD card requires fixing if we get some files missing like you put the card into the reader and you can't find the five just recorded or sometimes you turn on the camera and the screen remains black or you might get a weird notification or the camera simply makes unexpected reboots sometimes your SD card cannot be recognized by any device that you try to put it into because it simply is corrupt another condition you might experience are the error messages they can pop up on your screen and let you know that there is a problem with your device and most often you're gonna see messages like memory cards error corrupt memory card and something like that and the chances are that there really is a problem and you're unable to read the data it's a last common occurrence we might point to the weird-looking file so yeah sometimes you pull the card in and you realize there are a bunch of files whose extension you don't really recognize and the file name doesn't make sense most likely we're talking here about corrupt file index structure which also is bad and means that this body is corrupted nobody wants to experience these kind of troubles so we've tried to narrow down a few good ideas that you might try in order to fix your SD cards let's start with me that one where you can try running your SD card in other devices that's the most simple troubleshooting technique get the card put it into another reader find another SD card another computer think about borrowing your friends device and verify if the SD card is going to run if you're lucky enough that might work if not method 2 checking for

to check disk put a space : and /f F stands for fix hit the enter button and wait for a few seconds if there is something to be fixed you're going to see a notification except by typing Y and hit the enter button and the file structure of your SD card is going to be recovered third good option is to try to assign a new letter to your SD card again make sure that the SD card is connected to the computer right click on the start click on disk management and the konso is going to open right click on the volume of the drive letter that you wish to change and make the choice out of the letters which are provided select ok this is going to be a warning make sure to accept it and in a few seconds the new drive letter is going to be assigned if that doesn't help and your files are still not readable we can go to number four the methods which evokes formatting we've already had an episode dedicated to that so make sure to check the detailed instructions on how to format on Mac and Windows and this time I'll give you the shortest kind of tutorial click on the start button go to my computer then right click on your SD card select format make sure to tick the quick format option in order to make everything fast sir click the start button and accept the notification in a few seconds you're going to be done ok you've just formatted the card and most likely it's readable but how about the situation that prior to the format there was some precious data that just got lost well we've got you covered because recover it can save some files even from SD cards which have just been formatted connect the SD card to the PC and run the recover it software select the SD cards and hit the start button in order to begin the process it's going to scan and discover all the files it manages to find on the SD card after everything is done check the list and figure out which are the files that you wish to recover select them choose the recovery destination hit the recover button
