You can use a memory card to save and store a variety of files, including pictures, songs, videos and certain video game files. If the card is damaged, the information stored on it can become corrupt, which renders the information useless. You can retrieve data from a corrupted memory card using free software on your computer.
Instructions
1. Insert your memory card into your computer's SD/MMC card slot. If your computer does not support memory cards, you can use a multicard reader.
2. Download a freeware corruption repair program online, such as FileRestore Professional, ICE ECC or Unstoppable Copier. Save the program to your desktop and double-click on it to launch the program.
3. Select the memory card from the drive selection menu, which appears as a drop-down dialogue box. The program will scan the memory card for corrupt data.
4. Wait for the program to finish scanning for corrupt files; as they are found, the program will piece the information from the files back together and restore the repaired files back to the memory card.
