My SD card is dead. It is a sandisk 32GB model (genuine one as I bought it from a well known seller). All I can see is a partition with 32MB total space. I've tried to recreate the partition table in Gparted but it does no effect (no error either).

The night before I found it spoiled, I used my android phone and plug into Windows, did some files copy/paste to transfer some data between my computers. I dont know what happened but I think my Android phone has spoiled the sd card.

What should I do now?

  • Have you tried running chckdsk DriveLetter: /f and see if it fixes it? Do this in cmd.exe DriveLetter being the Letter of the SDCard. Make sure you do this in a card reader and not the phone. See if it fixes any drive errors. This will most likely fix it. As I have run the command on several different sd cards that were Currupted or similar to your issue. – NetworkKingPin Apr 01 '16 at 10:39

    @NetworkKingPin chckdsk is not a command. Assuming you meant chkdsk, running that willy-nilly can just as well destroy something permanently. That's why the first step is usually to take a full image of the drive. But in this case it looks like the card (controller, firmware) has failed in such a way that recovery is difficult at best, if not impossible. – Bob Apr 01 '16 at 11:03
  • Hit and extra letter. But thank you for the information @Bob – NetworkKingPin Apr 01 '16 at 11:08
  • Thanks guys. @Bob what can I do to fix this sd card? any hope? I do not need to recover my data. – boh Apr 02 '16 at 02:47
  • @boh I've only ever seen this on flash drives before, and it's usually a firmware flash... you're probably better off just giving up on it. Also, you'd never really trust the card again even if it is 'fixed'. – Bob Apr 02 '16 at 04:41
