Windows 10: Directory on SD Card Corrupted/Gone "BOOTEX"

Thousands of scanned photos on SD chip. Two other directories with files on the chip are working properly. The scanned photos directory is gone and in its place there is an icon that is labeled properly but is empty and a new icon that is labeled "BOOTEX" I believe the photo jpegs are still on chip as "properties" shows that are are several gigs on the chip. What to do to recover the files and/or directory? Thanks.

micro SD card corrupted?

Does your SD card work if you connect it to your computer?

If so, then what I would suggest is to backup it's content on your PC and format the SD card.

Once it's backed up, format the SD card through the phone.

Go to App List > Storage Sense > SD Card > Format SD Card to do that.

Micro SD Card Corrupted


Hi

Before I forget my phones an android!

The other day I moved some music over to my phone and it seemed to move OK so I went ahead and removed my phone from the laptop.

Then when I got to the car I went to pull up my music player so I could play over my cars audio and the music player had issues so I thought restarting might clear the issue so I went ahead and restarted my phone.

When I booted up again I got some error saying my MSD Card was corrupted and it only game me an option to reformat. I restarted again just in case was a glitch and same thing.

When I go into my phone file manager I can only see the internal storage but no MSD Card.

I then removed the card and inserted it into my old phone and it would not recognize the card at all.

I also tried hooking up the phone to my laptops USB port and it only finds the internal storage but no MSD Card.

So today I went out and bought a card reader that has MSD Card in it and tried that but when I plug the card in I get the below error

Also when I go into file explorer in my laptop the SD Card does not come up at all in the list of drives.

I googled it a bit and one post here or on another MS forum suggested using control prompt and CHKDSK /F had to run it as admin CP for it to work at all but this did not help at all as it looks like it will start but then it pops up saying it is busy with another process and can't scan the disk.

Where the disk is not pulling up in explorer is there any way to recover what is on the disk with there being these issues. Don't care about most the stuff on it but a few photos I would like to recover if at all possible!

Thanks
Dave
