How to recover data from a corrupt Memory card or USB Drive?

in #technology8 years ago

Well, even though I am not a technical guy, but this is a real life problem we all face. So recently I found the solution in a website and it worked for me. hence thought of sharing it with you guys. Hope it will help you!

Step 1:
Your plugged it in to your laptop or PC and your machine recognized it as a drive and gave it a letter. But when you click on it, you get an error box with a message.

==============================================================================

Step 2:
Time for little command magic! Hit the START menu > RUN> type CMD to bring up the command panel.

==============================================================================

Step 3:
In the command prompt, type Chkdsk e: /r. The e: tells which drive to use and /r command tells that the drive needs to be repaired.

==============================================================================

Step 4:
You may see the warning that your drive is not a windows XP drive - But that is not an issue. YOU CAN CONTINUE BY PRESSING Y TO CONTINUE.

==============================================================================

Step 5:
When it is almost complete, it will ask you if you want to save lost chains into files or not. You may choose yes, if you plan to use it.

==============================================================================

Step 6:
chkdsk will report back on what it has done and then go to my computer and check your drive.

==============================================================================

Step 8:
Your drive should open at this point with all the data.

==============================================================================
