Memory Card error

[bonkers72]

Have a micro SD card. I keep getting memory card read error. I have many pic's on there I still want. There has got to be some type of program out there to retrieve them with this error. Any ideas are appreciated, Thanks, B-72.

TestDisk - CGSecurity

PhotoRec - CGSecurity

Not the most intuitive of tools - but they work great.

Yep, I second that.
Learn how to use it, it has saved me where many others have failed.
It can be slow but be patient and let it work and if there's anything it can recover, it will.

Those seem to be fine for a card that can be read but unfortunately it wont read my corrupt microCard. "Memory card read error" Help?? Thanks.

If it is that damaged, you are not going to find anything that will read it.

It's toast.

Which is why I tell people all the time....

Flash Drives are not good back up/data storage devices.
Great for transferring data, but horrible at storing it.

Mechanical HDD's are far superior.

And Always, Always have a second backup of anything you do not want to lose.

There are those who have lost data and those who will lose data. Being prepared is only half the battle.
