These are labs who paint the worst possible picture and explain how they will recover your data using expensive chip-off or direct NAND dumping type recovery methods. On the other end of the spectrum are the chip-off cowboys. These include running chkdsk which you can’t because the drive was never mounted, or perform destructive actions using DiskPart. Many file recovery software related websites (RecoverIt, Stellar, DiskDrill) address the issue, however often they come up with moronic tips and advice. If you’d happen to be observing Disk Management you’d simply see it disappear.įrom a data recovery perspective this auto mounting procedure is highly undesired! What not to do In many cases if the drive is connected via USB (such as a card reader connected to the USB port), eventually Windows will disconnect it. Any bad sector in the meta data Windows is trying to access will cause the process to hang indefinitely. In order to mount a drive it will read all kinds of meta data from the drive, and this meta data starting point is the very first sector.
So, as soon as it detects it, it will start a process called ‘mounting’. Corrupted Micro SD CardĪs far as Windows is concerned a Micro SD Card is just another storage device. A common observed symptom is the computer starts functioning normally as soon as you remove the card. As long as it doesn’t you will be unable to recover your data. For recovery software to work the card needs to be detected and ID correctly. If inserting a corrupted Micro SD Card, that you need to recover data from, freezes your computer, then this kind of puts you into a catch 22 situation.
