Restoring sd card data after formatting
Restoring data from an SD card after formatting can be quite a difficult task, but in most cases the data can be successfully restored with the help of special programs.
Before starting the process, it is recommended to perform several steps:
1. Stop using the SD card and stop writing new data to it. This will avoid additional file damage.
2. Use a card reader to connect the card to the computer, not the camera itself or another device.
3. Back up all remaining data on your computer before starting the recovery process.
There are many programs for data recovery from formatted SD cards, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, Recuva and Disk Drill (paid), as well as PhotoRec (free). All these tools have a simple interface and offer different scanning methods: a quick search for deleted files or a deep search for more thorough detection of lost data.
When starting the selected program, follow the instructions on the screen:
1. Select the desired disk (SD card) for scanning.
2. Start the scanning process and wait until the program scans all deleted files on the card.
3. View the search results and select the files you need to restore.
4. Specify the destination where the recovered data will be saved.
Also, contact a specialist or computer service center for help if you are not confident in your software skills or would like to get a more accurate assessment of the possibility of successful data recovery from a broken SD card.
In any case, it is recommended to be careful when using SD cards: back up data on a regular basis and avoid formatting cards unnecessarily.
