Can the info be read by a PC?

I mentioned above that Recuva is a pretty good option if CHKDSK doesn't work. Unfortunately there are times when the data is too far gone and can not be recovered.

Did you make sure to turn off the lock on the SD card?

how to turn off the lock on sd card

Welcome to Android Central
On the side of your SD card, there should be a small "switch" that you can move up and down. Make sure it's not set to "on" or you won't be able to format it in the command Window.

Does this by chance fix a card that is stuck in R/O instead of R/W?
I've tried several similar methods that haven't worked to the point that I don't care if there is a way to fix it that causes the card to be wiped clean. I have a class 4 32GB sandisk microSD card.
I can view files and open/play media, but i cannot delete, or transfer/save new files to the card.

No. This specific method only checks for bad sectors and fixes them. I'm guessing you've tried formatting the card already.

Yea unfortunately I've tried formatting as a last ditch effort when other methods weren't showing any progress.
Is there a way to rebuild the file system on the card?

It's possible that there is a way, but I wouldn't be able to tell you how. You could try looking, but I'd personally get a new card.

My computer doesn't flashes or show any "Removable disk" on it. How can i fix my sd card if it doesn't show up there when i already connected my card reader with my memory card in it. By the way, I'm using a usb with a slot for an sd card. Help please :'(

Does your computer have an SD slot that you can directly insert the card into?
And if you put the card into a phone, does it get read there?

Yes, and yes. It mounts as read only though, on both windows 7 and android.

And do you have any data on the card at the moment?

My reply was accidental. I mistook it for you replying to me rather than Mj Arriola

Ah, OK. I didn't notice that you had replied earlier, but I did answer your last post.

Hi. I was wondering roughly how long the chkdsk would take on a 16gb sdhc card. I started a scan and 3 hours later there has been no progress. All that is on the screen is the line of code I typed in. I was wondering if this was normal as this is the last option I have as no recovery program's have worked on the card, either get nothing back or my computer freezes and has to be restarted.

Well in that case, yea i have data on the card, and i can copy from the card, just not to the card, nor delete from the card.
It reads, it just doesn't write.
