My pictures on my microsd card were corrupted

Hello there!

If you've ever found yourself trying to use your SD card only to get this message, "unable to use card". Well you're not alone. Not a problem, there's a solution!

Just follow this easy steps:

1. If your aim is to repair a corrupted SD card so that you can use it to store files then proceed to step # 2. However, if your aim is to recover the files on the SD card without erasing them, proceed to step # 5.

2. Insert the SD card into a digital camera card slot and choose to format your card. If this doesn't work then move on to the next step...

3. Place the SD card into your computer or laptop SD card slot. Right click on the SD card drive letter IF it appears and choose to "format". If this doesn't work, proceed to the next step...

4. You will need to go to the website http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula/. Here you will download, install, and run the program to format your SD card. This is the most advanced step of the three that I mentioned, but most likely to work 99% of the time.

5. If you want to recover files on your SD without erasing them, then you need to download and run the software on this site http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/testdisk_download
This is the best free software available for this type of problem.

However, in any case, if you do not have any important files on your SD card, better to purchase a new one.

Its most likely your Micro SD card thats faulty. If its a Sandisk of Kingston then theres a 12 Month warranty on them but if its one of those cheap no name ones they are a complete joke and will continue to corrupt everything put on them. Invest in a good brand one.
