  • In this video tutorial, I'll show you 5 proven methods to fix a corrupted SD card. 🔧 Recover data from a corrupted SD card: bit.ly/2YX3onw
    Timestamps:
    00:00 Intro
    00:26 Common Symptoms of SD Card Corruption
    01:07 Connect the SD card to another device
    01:47 Fix without formatting - chkdsk command
    02:50 Assign a new drive letter
    03:39 Format the SD card
    04:09 Recover files from a formatted SD card
    05:39 Reinstall the device driver
    Firstly, I want to just quickly diagnose the problem and give you some common signs of corrupt SD cards so that you can actually verify the problem that you're dealing with.
    1. If you put your SD card into your camera and it won't turn on, it doesn't work or it won't let you record, or you get a black screen, then it's probably corrupted.
    2. If you put your SD card into your card reader and then plug it into your computer and it doesn't get recognized or just straight up, doesn't show up at all, then you might be dealing with a bit of corruption.
    3. And finally, if any of your stuff is missing like it was deleted, and you know, for a fact you didn't delete it, then you could probably bet on there being some corruption somewhere. And so now that we've gone over some of the common signs, now let's go over some of the best solutions.
    Or follow the text guide below to repair corrupted memory card:
    Method #1
    So starting in with method, number one is just to use a different device to actually read the SD card inside of your computer. So making sure that it's not the SD card reader and is in fact the SD card is a really important first step. So you can correct this by just picking up a different SD card reader from the store or using an entirely different computer. If your SD card reader is built into your laptop, for example, but checking it with a different device or a different computer altogether is a good first step to ensure that it is in fact, a problem with the SD card and not the reader.
    Method #2
    So now let's move on to number two, which is going to be using a command inside of CMD called check disk in order to fix the corruption. So something that you should know about corruption, especially when it comes to SD cards or any kind of external media is a lot of times file system or the bad file system on the card is what's to blame. So you can think of a file system as a sort of set of instructions that are formatted into the card that tells the computer how to read the data that's on it.
    To fix corrupted SD card without formatting:
    1. Open CMD on your computer.
    2. Then click run as administrator, then enter this command (check the screen) and make sure to change F to the drive letter of your SD card, then hit enter. And if the file system was the problem, then your SD card will be up and running, ready to go.
    Method #3
    We're going to round the corner here to method number three, which is going to be changing the drive letter of your SD card to allow it to be at least recognized by your PC. So changing some of the metadata of the SD card, which in this case would be the drive letter is a good way to help the computer recognize the card. So here's how:
    1. Open disk management and then right click the SD card that you want to change the letter.
    2. Click change drive letter, and select the change button and choose from the list of available drive letters and finally click.
    Method #4
    So this method will always work, but it involves formatting your SD card. Formatting an SD card will erase everything on it. Now don't worry though, because after we format it, there is a way that we can use data recovery software to get all our files back. To format your card:
    1. Open up Windows Explorer, find your card.
    2. Right click it and select format. I usually go with exfat for my file system and then click, okay.
    3. Now once the format is done, it will essentially have completely reset the entire card.
    So now it will be usable and completely accessible by the computer, but all your stuff has gone, right? Well, not exactly. Like I said before, we can use a very high-end piece of recovery software to pull all the data that we just formatted back off the card. So it's kind of like the best of both worlds. So the software that I'm talking about is called Disk Drill.
    Steps to recover files from a formatted SD card: www.cleverfiles.com/howto/rec...
    Method #5
    You can try to uninstall and reinstall the device driver software for the device which contains the card that cannot be read. This may resolve the problem and indicates that the card itself has not been damaged.

    Guys, you saved me again. Not only my devices or nerves, but also me.
    I needed a SD card repair. I panicked because there are the necessary photos for the coursework at the university… To be honest I didn't believe that it's possible to fix corrupted SD. But you make the impossible possible!
    Reinstalling drivers helped me, my card works as before. I couldn't believe in that! Moreover, you reminded me about disk drill. I not only got the necessary files, but also restored several lost photos. So I got much more than I wanted to. But I don't mind. It's the best summary of my clumsiness in the use of technology

    I had an SD card full of photos from a trip that I wanted to check out on my Chromebook. After looking at them I closed the Chromebook and almost immediately pulled the sd card reader out of the USB (BIG DUMB MISTAKE that I realized the second I did it..) But I put it straight into a camera and got "Card Needs To Be Formatted". I plugged it back into Chromebook and got the same response. I plugged it into a windows and it could be red as exfat but no files were found on it and "it needed to be formatted". I eventually did follow step 4 and Disk Drill was able to recover all my lost files! I did pay for the program and the extended updates because I don't want to worry about corruption again, I just want instant recovery for emergency situations like this one. I almost put a hole in the wall out of anger, but this video totally helped me fix the problem! Thank you!

    I just spent the entire evening shooting portraits of all of these kittens we need to find homes for, as soon as I got the SD into my computer I got the immediate, "you need to format this drive." I ran the "chkdsk" prompt as you said and immediately got a massively long list of "corrupted" access to the directory, took about 5 minutes to finish processing the command, and at 100% Windows had reallocated all the data into a newly organized directory that gives me access to all the files again before I format it for the next project. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!! I'm sharing this video with everyone I work with, you covered all the methods and angles very well. My one trip up was when you said to change the "F" to the correct drive letter of the SD, there is an "F" and an "f" in the prompt and I was scared not knowing which F you were referring to changing. Can confirm for others it is the first capital "F" of the prompt command, not the lower case f.
    Cheers!

    I actually tried formatting my SD card more than 10 times, yet unfortunately the issue is still present. My real problem is that the video still plays BEFORE I transfer it into the SD card but AFTER I transferred it, the video doesn't play anymore. Plus, the transfer speed is just a miniscule 355 kbps on average so is it possible to solve this issue? The SD card is a white Sandisk 128gb & I've been dealing this problem for months.

    • @cleverfiles
      @cleverfiles  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi there! Sorry to hear about that. The only way to verify your files recoverability is to download Disk Drill Basic, run the scan, and preview the file(s) in question. If you managed to preview the file you needed to recover in a basic version, please email us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance. No preview just means that the file might be damaged or corrupt, it can be recovered, but it might need to be repaired.

At the bottom of the window make sure "S.M.A.R.T. Status" shows "Verified". This means the drive is not indicating any hardware errors.

      You're right, it only works for SD cards that show up on your computer. If a card is not detected, this won't work.

      If this helps, my card doesn't show up on my pc, but does on my phone since I've been using it as extra storage for my phone, maybe try that, see if your phone recognises a ccorrupt sd that needs to be formatted before it can be used

    My card is in a weird state. It is detected, chkdsk shows no errors, but I can't write any new data (pictures/videos, I use the sd card on a Canon camera, new data shows for a while and then goes "can't reproduce image/video") nor delete the old pictures it holds. Any clue about what's going and how to fix it?

      You might want to check for the Admin permissions to read and write files on the card.

    Hi, I am having trouble recovering my photos from my SD card. I was attempting to change the name of the folders to easily navigate my photos but then when I did that, my photos became were unable to display with a "?" on the screen. I then tried to transfer my photos back but had no luck. Stupidly, I looked up how to fix it online and was told to format it resulting in me losing all my photos. I have tried disk drill and some of the other methods but still no luck. Please help, I have very important memorably photos.

    Hello, I recently bought a new phone and I don't believe and I ejected the SD Card properly and now my new phone cannot open any of my photo or pdf files because its indicating that it doesn't recognize the files. When I insert the SD card into the pc, the pc recognizes the card cause I can all of the photo and files; however, when I try to open them it tells me the samething that it doesn't recognize the file format. The files are still there, but it just can't be open and view. Can these files be recovered and open again? Thanks

    Do you still respond here? I have an Official PlayStation Vita Memory (not an actual SD Card) and no adapter/ converter was ever made to plug an Official Sony Vita Memory Card into a PC USB drive.
    So I cannot tinker with it from a software pov outside of what I can do on the PlayStation Vita. Only offered to reformat it by Vita which is the one thing I cannot do. I have a Video game close to 100% completion that I cannot delete. Any 'physical fixes' you could suggest that might 'uncorrupt' the Memory even for only a single use so I can recover the data? Obviously I've tried wiping with cloth.
    Edit: Adding that I'm aware that Vitas can be Modded etc and that SD2Vita Adapters do exist, but my case is Vita2SD, or Vita2USB.

    So I have a 256gb SD card that I bought NEW, I have looked everywhere for a fix but can't find it. I tried all methods but every time I try moving files into it, it doesn't save. I tried moving games and it only saves small games, tried videos and the same thing happens, it saves small capture videos but not movies. Whenever I tried recovering files it says it was recovered fully but doesn't work still, it says it was not playable, and with games it says some files not found. Is it time to chuck that card or is there there still a way to fix it. I haven't had a problem with my last SD card.

All the other Methods don’t make sense because my SD card doesn’t even get recognized by the device so there is no possible way to change anything on drivers if I can’t even change any option. So wrapped up my Problem is that my Labtop and my family’s Labtops don’t detect my S D Card and I don’t know how to get my Computer to at least note that the SD Card has been inserted.

      Every recovery case is unique and depends on thousands of parameters. The only way to verify that your files are recoverable is downloading Disk Drill Basic, running the scan on the whole drive (not just volume or partition) without interruptions, locating the files in question, and previewing them to verify the content. Disk Drill PRO will recover the files that can be correctly previewed in Disk Drill Basic.
