Re: Damaged Sd card Error / Wont Mount - Fix??

I ended up having a very simple fix.

I'm running OS X and I used an adaptor to plug in my microSD card to my laptop.
  1. When I first opened Disk Utility (in Applications>Utilities), the SD card showed up but the "NO NAME" partition was grayed out.
  2. So, I selected the SD card and ejected it, then pulled it out and reinserted it into the reader.
  3. This time, the "NO NAME" partition was black. I held my breath and clicked the Repair Disk button and, voila, my Samsung GS3 displayed all my pictures and videos once more (after putting it back in my phone - don't forget to eject!)

I turned on WiFi sync on Dropbox again.

Thank you so much! I was panicking that I'd lost all my photos etc. But this worked a charm!

My Samsung Galaxy Ace came up with a message just after I'd finished transferring music to it that the SD Card was damaged. I tried the card in my old Nokia C3-00, and it still didn't work. I reluctantly decided to format the card, however it wouldn't format. After trying the command prompt-theory which results in it spitting out that it CHKDSK isn't available for RAW drives, I tried your theory. I plugged my phone into my computer via USB cable, and it asked to format the SD Card. I checked in My Computer and noticed a new drive that had the same letter as my SD Card previously named "Removable Disk (H:). I ejected it, disconnected the USB via the phone, and removed the SD Card and reinserted it. Straight away, it recognized it and all of my files came back.

If the first method doesn't work, definitely try this one! (y) :):)

Did you try to insert the sd card into some other micro sd card reader and checking off the sd card is accessible or not ?

Have carefully tried to insert the card in the slot ? Slowly and carefully push it in till you hear a click. Dont try too hard as that might injure the sd card. If it continues not fit in, take it to a nearby store.

Re: Damaged Sd card Error / Wont Mount - Fix??

Used above suggestions without a solution.
Could not read files on sd disk with phone or Windows 7
File system was corrupted so I used chkdsk <drive> with /R along with the /F option.
This fixes bad sectors and repairs disk.
Saved me from formatting the sd card.

I too had this problem but as I didn't know DOS much did not use chkdsk. Found another way to get back my pictures. Can you share a particular point in your way of solving this problem ?
