Since the inception of digital technology and memory cards, there have been many instances of data loss. A digital memory card can get corrupt due to several reasons, counting unexpected power outage and device incompatibility. To deal with such problems, the best solution is backup. But if this fails, a Memory Card Recovery tool can be used to rescue all the lost digital memories.

In order to exemplify similar situations, consider a user installs some software updates for his phone, after which he realizes that the memory card isn’t accessible. On reinserting the card, the phone detects it as encrypted. This occurs even when the card has not been encrypted.

Further, when the user inserts the memory card in memory card reader, it also fails to read the card. Trying to access it in a computer system gives the following error message:

“There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive.”

Such situations cause the entire data store of memory card to become inaccessible to the user.

Cause

Memory card is corrupted. This can happen if the phone updates are incompatible with the memory card.

Solution

To resolve memory card corruption, you can:

  • Try to connect your phone (with the memory card inserted) to a computer in mass storage mode. If the phone appears as a removable disk, you can reformat it and make it reusable. After this, you need to restore the deleted data from backup.
  • You can attempt to access the card in another phone supporting the same memory card. This may work as, in some cases, the problem can be related to firmware.
  • You can use a third-party utility to reformat the card and then use it again in your phone.
  • To recover lost files from the card, you need a Memory Card Recovery Software. The Memory Card Recovery utilities are fully competent in locating and restoring digital images, audios, and videos from any of the digital memory cards.
