Steps to recover file from SD memory card
Memory card refers to an electronic data storage device which is used to store digital information. They are mainly used in digital cameras, laptops, mobile phones, MP3 players etc. SD memory card is a memory card format developed by SDA. The SD cards have different specifications like microSD, miniSD, SDHC, SDXC, SDIO etc depending on their functionality. They are portable, recordable and can retain data without power. So they are used for storing lots of important data, media files like photos, audios, videos etc. Sometimes due to some unavoidable reasons, we lose our valuable files stored in the SD memory card. In that case we need to perform file recovery from SD memory card to get back those deleted files. Here we have some common file loss scenarios in which we often lose files from SD memory card:
Common file loss scenarios in SD memory card:
- Accidental Deletion: Data stored in SD memory card can be lost due to accidental formatting, by using cut and paste command, accidentally ejecting the memory card or pulling memory card abruptly from computer/card reader while data transfer is going on, erasing wrong data while trying to delete some other data, switching off the camera while images are under processing, taking pictures while camera is low on battery, accidentally deleting all the pictures while previewing them.
- Memory card corruption: Removing SD memory card while data transfer is not completed leads to memory card corruption which makes us lose the data stored in that memory card. Using same memory card in different digital cameras can also corrupt the memory card, which results in losing data stored in it. Viruses can also be the reason for memory card corruption. A corrupt memory card makes data stored in it inaccessible.
- Power Failure: Data in SD memory card can be lost due to sudden power failure while copying data from memory card to the computer. Improper shut down of computer while memory card is still in use can also make us lose the data stored in it.
In the above scenarios you might think that the data lost from memory card cannot be recovered in any way. However, there is a chance of SD memory card recovery using Remo Recover (Windows)-Media Edition software, if you have not saved any new data into that memory card. It is because saving any new data into the memory card can overwrite the deleted/lost data from the memory card, which leads to permanent data loss i.e. lost data, can never be recovered.
