Repair Corrupted Memory Card

If your SD card (external memory) is
unreadable, corrupted, damaged, or
has some kind of error you should
first do a Check Disk within a MS
Windows command prompt.
You need to eject (take out) your
SD card from your device (phone,
camera, etc) and insert it into your
computer.
Then to go a command prompt
(click on start menu, then type in
CMD in the in the search box)
Type: chkdsk /x /f e:
If above does not work then type
“chkdsk e: /f”
The letter E is my removable drive
where my sd card is in. You may be
in different drive ex., F, G?
After check disk is is complete
chances are your back in biz. Make
sure you copy all your stuff to a
folder on your computer then format
your card and move everything
back. It may be wise to keep a copy
on your computer too just in case.
Note: This will not work for all you
you. If you get an error message
from check disk with something
about RAW files then checkdisk will
not work. However, you may try to
eject and keep reinserting your sd
card until it can read your card,
meaning it wont say it is a RAW
file. Small chance but it this has
worked before. If this does not work
you can look for programs that can
retrieve this files that have been
corrupted or even deleted or
formatted. I don’t recall the
program i used last time for this
but i got back like 80% of the
videos and photos i had on the sd
card.
