Windows 10: File problems on an SD card

I have an SD card that has backup files of JPG, XLS, and DOC files which now appears corrupted.Windows 10I ran chkdsk on the drive and got the following results. Apparently, the data is still there, but I can't get to the files. Is there a way to recover the lost data to a different drive that has enough disk space?

Card SD problem

Look at this FAQ for information about your SD card:

In part, relating to SD card removal this is what was said:

To safely remove the SD card from your phone

Before you take the card out of your phone, you need to go through a few steps on your phone first. Otherwise, it can cause problems with the card itself or the files on it.

• 
  In the
  App list, tap Storage Sense
  
  .
  
• 
  Tap SD card, pan down and tap Remove SD card, and then tap
  Yes to confirm.
  
• 
  In the Safe to remove message box, tap OK, and then take the card out of your phone.
  

If you don't safely remove the SD card, when you reinsert the card you might see the
Scan SD card and fix errors message box. If that happens, tap
Yes to have your phone scan the card and try to fix any errors. If you see an
SD card scan failed message, insert the SD card into a PC to try and fix it there. To learn more, see this
Microsoft Support article about fixing SD card problems.

 

SD CARD

All appps are installed in phone memory. There is no way around this. You can install a game FROM the SD card but it is then installed in the device's main memory.



STEP 1: Copy all the .xap files which you want to install in your Windows 8 phone to your SD card.

STEP 2: Now go to Start -> Store -> SD card and wait for few minutes for all the .xap files to be loaded.

STEP 3: Select the app which you want to install -> Select Install option.

STEP 4: If your apps are compatible then you can see them in the Compatible apps list if not it will be shown in the Incompatible apps list.

STEP 5: Once you have successfully installed the apps, you can see those apps listed in the Apps list from start.

SD card problem.

Hi, I hope you're doing good today.

Let's try the following and see if some of these methods work for you.

1. Try SD Card on Another Device

Sometimes it is the computer interface that breaks, rather than SD card. In this case, just connect your SD card to another computer or Android phone. Alternatively, try another SD card to check the interface. There is no shortcut if you want to test the SD
card not recognized or working on Windows 10.

2. Check SD Card in Disk Management

If your SD card doesn’t show up in Windows 10 File System, but in Disk Management, check whether there is a drive letter for the card. Follow the steps below to add a drive letter:

Step 1. Right click “My Computer” and select “Disk Management”.

Step 2. In Disk Management, your SD card will appear as a removable disk. Check if it has a drive letter like D or E.

Step 3. If not, right click the SD card and select “Change Drive Letter and Paths”.

Step 4. Click “Add” and select a drive letter, then click “OK”. Your SD card would be working in File System along with local disks.

Check SD Card in Disk Management

3. Remove SD Card Write Protection

There is a knowledge point that write protected SD card will not be displayed on other devices, except the original one. So if you did lock your SD card before, the first thing is to remove write protection from SD card. Check the lock switch beside the card
or use disk utility. It can also fix SD card not showing up on Windows 10.

4. Reinstall/Update SD Card Driver

When you update Windows 10, it will automatically renew all device drivers. But if you still have problem with a device, it is still well worth a try to update or reinstall the driver. Here’s how to update/reinstall driver to repair (micro) SD card not detected
on Windows 10:

Step 1. Click “Start” and enter “Device Manager”. Select it from the results.

Step 2. Find your SD card and right click it, then select “Update Driver”.

Step 3. Select “Search automatically for updated drive software”. If there is no new driver, try to look for one on the manufacturer’s website and follow the installation wizard.

Step 4. If it doesn’t work to update driver, just right click the device and select “Uninstall”. Then restart your computer, and Windows will reinstall the driver by itself.

5. Enable SD Card Reader

Disabled SD card will not show up on Windows 10. The steps to enable this function are the same as above. First find your SD card in “Device Manager” and right click it. If it shows “Disable Device”, then you have already enabled SD card reader and there is
no need to do anything. If not, just select the option “Enable Device”. Then Windows 10 could detect your SD card normally.

6. Run Hardware and Device Troubleshooter

Troubleshooter is a built-in repair tool in Windows 10. It helps to fix common computer problems. You can also use it to solve (micro) SD card not detected on Windows 10 problem.

Step 1. Click “Settings”> “Update & security”> “Troubleshooter”.

Step 2. Select “Hardware and Devices”, then click “Run the troubleshooter”. After detecting the problem, the troubleshooter will fix it automatically.

Regards.
