If mobile memory card get corrupted, is there
any chance to recover my precious photos and video files?
You’re a wise guy if you have this doubt in
mind when your mobile memory card is corrupted. Methods to recover files from
corrupted mobile memory card do exist for both Windows users and Mac users.
A memory card is an electronic flash memory
data storage device used to store digital data. It is very small, re-recordable
and capable to retain data without power, thus it is widely used in various
electronic devices, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, video game
consoles, etc. However, memory cards
including SD card, CF card, xD-Picture card and Memory Stick are easily damaged
physically and logically. If a memory card are completely destroyed or physically
damaged, you’ll have little chance to fix it and let alone corrupted photos and
videos recovery. Here, let’s discuss photos and video files recovery from a logically
corrupted memory card. Such kind of things always occur during data transfer if
the memory card is pulled out or if power is off, and thus result in memory
card corrupt and unusable. Generally speaking, you’ll be asked to use a disk
error-checking utility on a computer to correct errors or format the card to
reuse. Please bear in mind that do not format the card or take any operations
on it immediately to avoid data loss. You’d better use data recovery software
to retrieve data back first.
Several months ago, I bought a photo recovery
tool called Softtote Photo
Recovery for Mac to
undelete photos & videos from my corrupted Android mobile memory card. Attracted
by its advertisement that it can recover lost, deleted, formatted and
inaccessible photos, videos and music files from hard drive, external hard
drive, digital camera and other storage medias, I select it to hold the power
of life and death of my precious photos and videos recording my wonderful life.
I follow the instructions as the software direct seriously and anxiously. Brilliant.
It worked. My files get back. No matter you’re an expert or a rookie, you can
handle it, because it’s really easy to operate. Just follow steps: install and
launch—select drive—scan—preview and recover—store.
Of course not all files can be recovered, it
depends on operating frequency on the appropriate drive/ card and time span
after data loss, because lost files can be damaged or overwritten. If you are
lack of confidence on this software, you can try a free data
recovery utility to check
if target files can be found out.
