SD card recovery
It may be necessary to restore the SD card if it has become inoperable or the data on it has been accidentally deleted. Here are some steps that can help you get your SD card working again:
1. Check the physical condition of the card: make sure that the contact pins and connectors are clean and not damaged.
2. Use a second reading device: sometimes the cause of the problem may be related to a reading device (for example, a card reader). Try using another program to read the data or connect the card to the computer directly via a USB adapter.
3. Start the error check: the operating system has the function of checking disk errors to correct possible problems of the file system on the SD card.
– For Windows, right-click on the “My Computer” icon -> Select “Properties” -> Find your SD card in the list of logical drives -> Right-click on the selected item->Select the “Check” option
– For Mac, go to Finder->Applications->Utilities folder and open Disk Utility app> Select your card from the list of drives on the left side -> Click “First Aid” and then click “Run”.
4. Use specialized programs for data recovery: there are many free and paid programs that will help you recover deleted files on an SD card.
– Some of them:
* Recuva (Windows)
* PhotoRec (Cross-platform)
* Disk Drill (Mac & Windows)
5. Turn to professionals: if all of the above did not give results or the data is very valuable, then it is better to turn to a data recovery company for help.
It is important to note that the success of the operation may depend on the condition of the card and how the steps were performed after the problem occurred. Therefore, regularly creating a backup copy of all important data is a good practice to prevent information loss in the event of this type of failure or error
