OMG, your video saved me a lot of time, I almost lost everything on my 128 SD card, I just changed the letter and it worked, thanks man

My SD card isn't even showing up in disk drill 😢 i'm using a Mac and I tried a USB-C adapter and it still didn't work. The message on my camera says "Card1 cannot be accessed Reinsert/change the card or format card with camera"

[@cleverfiles]

You can try the SD card in different devices or readers to rule out issues with the reader. Check if the card appears in Disk Utility on your Mac and run First Aid if possible. Use Terminal to list all disks with diskutil list to see if the card is recognized.

[@Cambree_Catalano]

Same thing just happened to me

[@tierger]

My micro sd card didn't even show up in disk management and disk drill at all, it showed up with another micro sd but not the one I want to fix

[@cleverfiles]

Try using a different adapter, USB port, or another device to see if it shows up. Rescan disks in Disk Management and check for driver issues in Device Manager.

[@jeromecasticimo6174]

How about of still cant recognize or not detected on disk management?

[@cleverfiles]

Check the hardware by testing the card in another device or cleaning its contacts. Look for the card in Device Manager and update/reinstall its drivers if needed, or rescan disks in Disk Management. For severe issues, consider professional recovery services. Persistent failure may indicate physical damage to the card.

Props to you! I was really sad and I thought all my data was lost... Definetly a sub and a like

[@gabip265]

Amazing! Reassign a later to the volume solved the issue after so many different attemtps!

[@kossxtreeme]

In some phones when SD cards where linked as internal memory which for unknown reasons are not recognized by the phone or other devices, the only way is to reset the phone to the factory settings with the card in it. On my xiaomi phone, this was the only way I was able to revive a 256 GB Samsung card that no other device could see. Some phones have the option of card encryption as internal memory, but they often give errors. Maybe it helps some people.

Hi, the disk drill show the disk and scanned but no file showing, I have not touch anything to the card yet sure did not format. The issue with the card was while I was working on the file and just suddenly all gone. While I was scanning it the bottle show the time of scanning and show block of a (number) of (number). Does it mean something?

[@gyruss2000]

Hello, I tried following your video and also Stellar Photo which actually gave same instructions. Both software I downloaded and both don't recognize my drive. Not even Disk Management. tried on different device and same thing, but that device works with another SD card. Cannot format either because my SD card drive does not show at all (unlike "Canon (K:)" which showed in your video. Is there any solution that allows me to recover my data (which is irreplaceable)? If my SD card can be formatted if all else fails, should I trust re-using same card again? Or should I buy another one?

[@cleverfiles]

Try different computers and operating systems. If recovery is successful, test the SD card's integrity before deciding to reuse it. Given the risk of data loss, it may be safer to replace the SD card with a new one.

[@last_vain4014]

Tnx for this, I actually save 2 of my sd card that has been un functional for almost 3 years❤

[@vixikie]

I have a few folders on my extended hard drive that is XEP-files. The icons is not even folders but a white document icons and I can't open them at all. Do you know how to? I have tried looking for solutions on both Google and KZbin but can't find any.

[@cleverfiles]

Use a file identification tool like TrIDNet to determine the file format, or try opening them with a text editor for any readable hints. You can also use a universal file opener such as File Viewer Plus. If specific software for XEP files exists, install it based on online research. Finally, check for file corruption by running chkdsk X: /f in Command Prompt, replacing X: with your drive letter.

[@PrithyKing]

Got a brand new sd card, not working in camera. Did the format but still not working. What can be done or is it just faulty and need to go back? Appreciate the help!

[@cleverfiles]

Make sure the SD card is compatible with your camera and try formatting it directly in the camera. Check the card's lock switch for write protection. Test the card in another device to see if it's recognized. If other SD cards work in your camera and the new one doesn't, it may be faulty and should be replaced.

[@PrithyKing]

Thanks, I've done all of the above and still didn't work. Will return. 👍🏼

[@CheesyMashedPotato]

Hello, I don't know where to ask anymore. I've asked on reddit but it seems like nobody answering 😂 To make it short, my problem is the sd card can't be detected after approximately 24 hours. So I have to either re-insert the sd card into my phone or restart my phone in order for the card to he detected. But as I said just then, after 24 hours, there's no sd card detected. It is quite tiring to restart my phoen everyday

[@cleverfiles]

You can try repairing the SD card using tools like CHKDSK or First Aid, and consider reformatting the card after backing up data. Test a different SD card to rule out hardware issues, and make sure your phone’s software is up to date. You can also reset your phone’s settings to address potential software conflicts. If the issue persists, the SD card or the card slot may have hardware problems.

[@CheesyMashedPotato]

@@cleverfiles I'll try. Thank you so much for replying🙏🏻

[@maxshadow...]

@@cleverfiles How you you run a CHKDSK if the computer doesn't see it.

[@Lilly-qx3ji]

My Card Reader appears as Disk 1 in the disk management however it says there is no media but there are about 200 pictures on the SD card, what should i do????

[@cleverfiles]

Try using it in another card reader or device to rule out hardware issues. Check connections, update card reader drivers, and test a different adapter if using a microSD card. You can also attempt data recovery using tools like Disk Drill. If the card is detected but inaccessible, run CHKDSK to repair potential file system issues. If the problem persists, the SD card may be damaged, and professional data recovery may be needed.

[@hyuklyy]

hello, the last time i used my sd card on camera i extracted the data and formatted it. but the next moment i tried using the same card it shows up sd card cannot be accessed and when i connect it to my card reader, it does not recognise the card at all even after trying everything. can somebody please help me? i recently bought this card and it was a bit expensive i do not want to buy another one again just yet 😭

[@cleverfiles]

If the steps from this video won't help, then you might need to send your card to the Data Recovery Center for repair. Please find more details here: www.cleverfiles.com/salvage/

[@yanited1892]

My tablet won't allow me to format my SD card to internal storage. It is only showing Media and Files. Why is that happening?

[@cleverfiles]

Your tablet may not allow formatting the SD card as internal storage due to software or hardware restrictions. Some devices disable this feature intentionally, especially on lower-end or older models, to avoid performance issues. Additionally, the SD card might not meet the required speed class (e.g., Class 10, UHS-I) needed for internal storage use. If you're certain your card is compatible, you can try enabling the feature through Developer Options or by using ADB commands on a computer.

[@anak.dominguez2106]

HOW DO YOU DO THIS ON MAC???? why can't I find information on Mac?

[@cleverfiles]

You can use Disk Drill for Mac to scan your drives and see what can be recovered. If you run into issues, please reach out to support at [e-mail]

[@ThatMovieGuy90s]

The problem is that my computer recognizes the card (I hear a little jingle) but it won't show up in Disk Management. Any way to fix this? Thank you.

[@cleverfiles]

Check Device Manager for hidden or disabled devices and update drivers. Use diskpart in Command Prompt to see if the card is listed and assign a drive letter. Test the card with another reader, port, or device to rule out hardware issues. Persistent issues may indicate internal damage to the card.

[@musicuploadsindia3161]

hello, when i tried to delete an application that i didnot backup then i lost the main folder in that application where all the programs are there , now i need those files so can you help me

[@dariak3984]

Hello. I have an SD card that I use in my tablet. Suddenly it's not recognized and I can't see the files there. Is it possible to fix the card without removing it from the tablet?

[@cleverfiles]

Try restarting the tablet and checking for software updates. You can also unmount and remount the SD card via the settings menu or clear the cache partition by booting into recovery mode. If these steps don't work, use a different file manager app or check for SD card errors in the storage settings. If the problem persists, you might need to remove the SD card and test it on another device.

[@DQuill]

And what do you do if your micro SD card is not detected at all? Like as though it’s not even connected to the device? I have two brand new micro SD cards that are not being detected by my daughters camera nor my laptop but the third micro SD card is detected so I know it’s not a problem with the devices but lies with the cards.

[@cleverfiles]

If your new micro SD cards aren't detected but other cards work, check their format (FAT32 or exFAT) and try a different card reader or adapter. Inspect the cards for physical damage. Test them in another device to confirm if they are faulty. If they still don't work, consider returning or replacing them.

[@dericktravis8483]

I accidentally ejected the SD card from your camera without turning it off first. Now the computer isn't detecting the SD card. Is it worth trying data recovery software?

[@cleverfiles]

Try reinserting your SD card into the camera and turning the camera on and off, then reconnecting to the computer. Restart your computer and try using a different card reader or USB port. Check for the SD card in Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) and update or reinstall drivers if necessary. If the card is detected by Disk Drill, you can try scanning it to recover data.

[@jfbalindra]

If I change the drive letter of the SD card there is a risk of data loss ???

[@cleverfiles]

Changing the drive letter of an SD card typically does not cause data loss. It's a relatively safe operation that only changes how the drive is referenced in the system. However, it's always a good idea to back up important data before making changes to drive configurations to mitigate any unforeseen issues.

[@codmbotkillergaming]

I have an option if what data or files I want to save???

[@cleverfiles]

Sure. You can mark checkboxes for files or folders you would like to be recovered

that is only some of the ways you "solve the issue." you didn't mention that sometimes you are just fucked and cannot solve said issue.

[@Shibedo]

how am i to do this if my sd ccard is not recognizable??

[@cleverfiles]

First test it on another device and inspect it for physical damage. Ensure your computer’s SD card reader drivers are up to date, and check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) to see if the card appears. If recognized but not usable, try assigning a drive letter or reformatting the card, noting that formatting will erase all data. If corruption is suspected, use command-line tools or data recovery software to repair or retrieve data. If these steps fail, the SD card may be irreparably damaged and require replacement.

[@Shibedo]

[@cleverfiles]

Recovering data from a formatted pen drive directly on an Android TV can be challenging due to the limitations of the TV's operating system and the lack of specialized data recovery tools available for Android TV. You can scan your drive with Disk Drill on Windows or Mac.

Is there a chance that the sd card is burnt (invisible damage)

[@JonnyCarEdits]

It wasn't recognised by my phone, even 2 different laptops (idk the drive letter and can't find it in disk management)

[@cleverfiles]

Yes, your SD card could be damaged even if the damage isn't visible. Check for any physical signs of damage and test it on different devices, including using an SD card reader. Use Disk Management and Device Manager on Windows to look for unrecognized or uninitialized entries. Try accessing the card with diskpart in Command Prompt or on a different operating system like Linux. If these steps fail, consider using data recovery software or professional services.

[@tinaculbertson9428]

If my computer is not recognizing that an SD card is in the reader and it's not showing up in Disk Management how does any of this help. The computer doesn't see it...therefore the computer thinks it does not exist.

@@cleverfilespeopld used to use this joke about and I wanted you to hear it The fbi back when in the year 2000 had an unmarked car somehow lost in the ocean of all places, someone was able to come back later with something to shatter the windows to unlock the car, the thing is, they were hoping that they’d find just about anything else wise apart from missing ipods, rings, wallets and such, cause they really hoped they could one day recover something for once, stuff like a broken radio or whatever. They had a seriously lucky day to find something totally unexpected, there was a hard drive found in the car, they figured, well this can get cleaned, idk if I may can actually do anything with it. The thing is, it was custom brand printed onto not with a company name bug with just WWW2000-2010. WWW for short means they custom built in a hard drive an all activity recording mechanic that’s be receiving each day files downloaded every single time till the year 2010. The FBI had on the back of it a thing that was an alerter, if it seemed to ever be obtained again, their computers would know. The thing though, was its like any other hard drive though to, whereas a warranty on it is due to expire one day, so their systems didn’t even notice it was ever found again. So someone got to watch and look at all of the internets movies, cds, deleted scenes, images, web pages, online or downloadable games even after being deleted.
