A gigantic file on my memory card was by all visible means corrupted and so I went ahead and took the advice given earlier and ran the chkdsk. The "unrecoverable error" file was then converted into a tiny 30 KB file that I can't even open. Is there any way I can get that data back? It's not looking good. Thanks so much for your help, in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] Vatazhka:
First, make a block-for-block backup of your SD card. Then use any utility which is able to access the SD card on the block level and run read-write tests. It might happen that your SD card is broken in which case I'd recommend getting a new one if your data is of any value to you.

I can't recommend any Windows or Mac OS GUI tools since I'm using Linux and use standard commands such as dd for this.

Just get a new card

All my problems with my HTC Inspire Mini SD Card went away when I got a new card. No matter what I did, I could not seem to fix the old one. CHKDSK f: /f /x didn't help. Reformatting it time and time again (cuz it always got corrupted) didn't keep it from being corrupted again. It would seemingly just get corrupted for no reason at all. It seems OK for other stuff, but not for my Android.

I have this Galaxy S2...my question is how can I access the micro sd card through my phone since the internal SD card is the only drive recognized. The external is a folder called external_sd...I can't find the blasted sd card adapter... *sighs*

I found my sd card adpater- was able to "undo" the error using chkdsk through Windows. I then ran the Drive Restore which rated my class 10 16gb Wintec micro SD card as Poor...is there any other option for repairing besides formatting it...or paying $75 bucks for this program?!

[General Questions and Answers] Kayla_Harris:
You can try some SD card recovery software

First, you can try some SD card data recovery software which can recover your lost data from your corrupted SD card.

Then, format you SD card when you get your lost data back from your corrupted SD card, which will establish a new file system. And your SD card will be usable again.

[General Questions and Answers] sussana:
Main reasons for memory card corruption are virus attack, power failures, improperly ejecting memory card from card reader etc. I have used memory card recovery software to recover lost photos from corrupted SD cards. This software can also recover photos from XD card, CF card, MMC etc. Along with photos, this software can also recover different types of files based on their unique signature. Download free demo version, where you can view recovered files. If you find your lost files from corrupted SD card then use full version of this software to save recovered photos.

[General Questions and Answers] binser:
I have a lot of experience with data rescue and would like to give the following advice:

For *important* data, do *NOT* use chkdsk as the first solution. First make a backup image of the card by using imaging software like Drive Snapshot, Acronis True Image, Easeus (free version available), Test Disk(*), or Paragon (free version available). Then you can revert to the state the card is in, if your recovery attempts mess up the file system even more.

Chkdsk can *potentially* mess things up even more so that data rescue software will not be able to do its job, though often it repairs the card quite well.

After you made the image, try data recovery that will not alter the card first:

Free: Recuva (possibly use deep search option and "scan for non-deleted files"), Disk Digger, PhotoRec, TestDisk (*)

Best paid: ZAR (less expensive and very good), GetDataBack (more expensive and also good)

Finally you can try

-"chkdsk /X /F /V DriveLetter:" for a semi-destructive repair (lost chains will be cut) or

-TestDisk (*) for repair of a faulty Partition Table/FAT/file system (semi-destructive with some options)

-format with "SD Card Formatter" (destructive repair) or

-format natively by system function

in the unit where the card is primarily used

for best compatibility (destructive repair).

Hi ,

got a MicroSD Lexar 16Go class10 on Christmas wooohooo

few days later, time to backup on pc my old card (Sandisk 8Go Cl4 from Desire HD)

and... it went terribly wrong.

right now, I can't have any access on my old SD, no backup have been done.

well.. thanks to "sweet home!" app, all my pictures and movies are safe, but many annoying things happened :

I've lost many "data app", like map from the gps within the DHD, 20 apps who were on my SD are gone, and the worts is this question dancing in my head :

"what have I lost without knowing it ??"

what app will be f***ed up because of that ? ,

I know by example that my personal dictionary for swift is gone.. sad, annoying, but.. well, not SO a big deal...

so, I'm trying 2 things :

recover my data

and/or

knowing what apps I should reinstalled, , how to get back some "htc stuffs" who were on my SD when my phone was "box-fresh".. etc.

for the recovering :

chckdsk tells me my sd has RAW file system.

testdisk doesn't seems to be magical with the few basics options, and I'm not good enough to trying the expert one, so far, I did'nt found a tutorials matching enough with my case

the last thing I've done is trying PowerQuest partition table editor, but I'm lost there :

Howw.. the most disturbing for me : on some scan like cardrecovery or GetDataBack, I hear the HORRIBLE boodoom.. dooboom sound... meaning "USB off/USB on".. and some time some "Off/off.... ...On"...

It sounds... bad...

I'm not "old" enough here to have a signature, but as always : Sorry if my English is painful to read... (I'm French)

What you need to do is burn a live cd of GParted and boot into the cd on the computer, then play around with the broken partitions and delete them. Then format the card to FAT32 and you should be good.

[General Questions and Answers] winsettr:
I'm pretty sure zoppp's answer was for you; Gparted is a great Linux tool that is packed with many distros if you have any Linux LiveCDs or USB installs. If not, you can (apparently) download a LiveCD version of just Gparted.

[General Questions and Answers] winsettr:
Gparted is usually for formatting the disk, but if you try to repair the Matter Boot Record with it you might have better results, may be able to get chkdsk to recognize the disk as FAT.

I didn't see your answer winsettr, I will try gparted.. May be.

After all, I'm with my new sdcard since 2,3 weeks now, all my pics and vids were on my desktop thanks to "sweet home", and I only lost some apps I have to re-DL, some maps already DL-ed and many app data... and this could be annoying, maybe the cause of some bug.

but well.. maybe it's time for a flush down, and give a chance to CM or another rom :)

Partitioning User Error

Hello, I think this is yet another epic fail on my path to understanding.

My Partition Magic: (1024 mb = 1 GB)

------------------------------------------------

16384 mb = 16 GB (Original Size)

12124.16 mb = 11.84 GB (Size after Partition)

-----------------------------------

16384

-12124.16

======

4259.84 MB Magically disappeared!!!*

*I made a horrible mistake.

I was 'loosely' reading a passage about partitioning SD Cards and a2sd implications one day.

The instructions were to format partition 1 to Fat @ xMB, partition 2 to ext3 (logical) @ yMB. DONE!

x= the larger

y= the smaller (where apps would be installed)

Now, when I boot into CM7 on my LG, SD CARD Information unavailable...space 'unavailable'.

In fact, the only way that I can access this space is from Clockwork Mod and from Linux.

Linux still sees the 11.85 GB as storage space if I mount from recovery USB Mass Storage,

but these files can't be accessed from my LG or from another, similar phone.

It's as if the missing (logical) partition is preventing the SD to be mounted within Android.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN....

Ubuntu GParted

-----------------------

> During Partition, my phone was booted into recovery,

mounted as USB Mass Storage

.

> Since this happened, I am left with 11.84 GB that is only recognized by my computer and cwm.

How do I get this missing space back? Linux to Linux (Android)

UPDATE: So, I put the SD Card into my phone, booted to Recovery, then partitioned. Card is NOW recognized by the phone. STILL, however, NOW it's showing 12 GB of space. Any ideas?

UPDATE again....

Did the same thing again...now I have 13 GB available.. This is nuts. Each time I partition via phone recovery, I gain the space that was once missing. I'll keep doing it until I'm back to 16. lol

[General Questions and Answers] Albert_Eines:
We usually store digital images, pictures, snapshots or audio and video clips in memory card. But, this storage device may sometimes get damaged or corrupted causing a big loss in the stored data. Such kind of scenarios can be avoided by adopting memory card recovery mechanism.

In order to get back all the stored data which have become unreachable due to corruption in memory card, memory card recovery software is used. The software you choose for retrieving data from the memory card must be reliable and efficient that does not alter the content of the device.

[General Questions and Answers] onlymojo:
Not sure where you got this from man but you are wrong. Any type of solid state memory is fine to format. SD cards like all other solid state memory types have limited read/write cycles. All formatting does is uses one of those write cycles. It doesn't dramatically reduce the life of the card. I have had the same micro SD card if 5 phones over the last SIX years!

[General Questions and Answers] ledzgio:
Hi all, my micro sd card 16gb is acting in a very strange way. It is partitioned in 2 partitions, one fat32 (about 15gb) and the other one ext4 (about 1gb).

I can read every file in the partitions but I cannot nor delete neither copy files to one of the partitions, if I remove a file and take out the microsd adapter from the PC and put it again, the files I had removed are still there (the same with the copy, I can copy a file but after unmounting and mounting the card, the file is not there anymore), thi is very very strange.

I have tried:

- different sd adapters

- format directly from the android device connected as USB mass storage

- chkdsk /X /F G: on windows

- gparted on linux

- dd on linux

- HDD Low Level Format

- Hard Disk Wipe Tool

- SDFormatter

- CWM recovery format tool

I really don't know what else I could try, very frustrated.

Any suggestion?

Phone is a N1 running CM7. I'm also using S2E so my SD card has 2 partitions a FAT32 and EXT. The EXT was working just fine (i.e. all apps were loading) but the FAT32 refused to mount...

A couple of things:

1) you must use some sort of external card reader: I tried to use CWM and mount the USB. It would show up in windows and I could run the chkdsk but wouldn't solve it. Used an external card reader and that fixed it...

[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Evo:
I am at my wits end. I have tried ALL of the suggestions posted on here, all to no avail. I have used about six different low to very high end software recovery and formatting programs, none have worked and all give the same message of not being able to find any data or needing some other type of program.

My problem: I have a 64GB SanDisk microSD card that I used in my Samsung Galaxy Note. My Note had been giving me issues for a while, and I had B.S. on getting it replaced. On went to bed on Sunday and the card was working just fine. I awoke on Monday and went out to run some errands that afternoon. I decided to listen to some tunes. That's when I found out NONE of my songs in my extensive music library were showing up. I used many file explore apps and none could find ANY data on the card. That's when I noticed there was an error message in my notifications bar, telling me the card was blank or it needed to be formatted. I immediately took the phone to the store to get it replaced. The loaner phone I was given, could read the card either. When I got home, I placed it into my microSD adapter so I could see if I could view the files on my computer, and nada!

I got my new Note yesterday afternoon. I inserted the card and tried to see if the phone could format it. Same errors. So, now, it's clear that the card is corrupted. My issue is (of course) I get an error telling me my card has RAW files on it or some crap. Also, when my card shows up on the device I place it on... it should say 59GBs and some change. It shows up as 15.9MB!! Nothing I have tried works. I don't know what to do. This memory card was hella expensive. I can't just call it a loss. Can anyone help or offer some real suggestions? I see a few other people above me with somewhat similar issues.

Thanks.
