So, I lost my pics and backups a day after installing CM7

[Droid_Evo_8]

I dunno what happened today but everything was working fine yesterday. I tried doing some backups through ROM Manager and I just noticed that all my previous backups were gone. I didn't do anything crazy so I dunno where it went nor I don't remember accidentally deleted it.

Same goes with the pics. Not only I lost my pics that was in the phone (not the ones on the SD) but also I don't know where the damn pics that I've taken with my phone goes to what folder.

Someone help please!!!!! :'(

Sounds like your sd card might have been corrupted - can you access the pics or see the backups when you mount the card on your cpu?

If it is corrupted you'll have to reformat it FAT32. If you can get your stuff off the card - copy it onto your cpu - then reformat the card and move the stuff back.

I can access my pics that are on the root of the card fine. It's the ones that I took pics with the phone's camera I got bummed with. There's no more pics on the DCIM and clockworkmod folders. :'(

I'll still try your suggestion to see if it makes any difference. (hopefully, crossing fingers)

you copied the files off the sd card, reformatted, and then put the files back on right?

Yep, just wondered why and how my sd card got almost empty (like brand new again) even when I put back my files.

Do you still have the files on your CPU and do u have an extra SD card? That way you could see if the card itself is broken or something.

I still have my files on my cpu and no, unfortunately, I don't have an extra SD card.

Sorry i think that's the extent of my sd card troubleshooting skillz.
If you can get your hands on another sd card on the cheap or borrowed i would place the files on it and see if the new one works - It could be there is something wrong with the current one that is not fixable thru reformatting.

The other possibility i can think of is some of those files are corrupted and they have corrupted the sd card again after you reformatted. Not sure what can be done about that except to reformat the card again, Don't replace the files, and start from scratch.
