How To Fix Damaged or Corrupt SD Cards in Windows 10

Hi everyone, in this video I show you how to fix a damaged or corrupt SD card in Windows 10 using the command line prompt. Maybe your getting the response WINDOWS CAN'T FORMAT DISK then this video should help.

THANK YOU !!!

The chkdsk /f command is all I needed after my phone suddenly asked me to reformat my SD card, but put it in my laptop, ran "chkdsk /f" and everything was instantly fixed!

Confirmed, this method allowed me to remove Windows 10 IoT from my 32GB SD card and then install Android 7.0 on it. Thanks again.

I came back here to thank you very much for sharing this information. I went to all sorts of sites and tried many things to fix three 32G SD cards and none of them worked. I have been trying to download and flash an operating system for a little computer and ruined three cards in the attempt.
This worked like a harm and they are back to full functioning. I was fortunate in that there was no data on them taht I wanted to recover, I just wanted to repair them. Agan, thanks very much. I'm looking forward to more videos from you in the future.

Bro thank you so freaking much. I've gone close to a month with my sd damaged and refused to reformat. Too many pics and music that I didn't want to lose. Came across your video, everything is back in order. Thank you man!

Thank you it's been a while since I have used the command prompt I recovered over 5000 songs which I thought were gone for good amongst other things.

after chkdsk it is showing unrecoverable error in folder \apps. And asking "convert folder to file(Y/N)?"

[shenalorlof]

Its says
"The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."
when i run the chkdsk command. What should i do?

[mark____]

You absolute life saver. Saved me a lot of work redoing everything. Thank you so much.

Hi. I got this error: The media in the drive may have changed.
See the System Event Log for more information.

Do you have any idea on how to solve it?

Many thanks

A big High Five to you Dave. Followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. It opened up E drive (the sd card) and allowed me to copy to my PC. Best wishes, Phil :-)

HELP ME! i am trying many ways to format my sd card but it doesn't do so, when i used "chkdsk" command its say it is available for RAW drives only and if i format it from cmd after creating a primary partition its say your "parameters" is incorrect. Please guide me

[yessicafrias]

It worked! I've had this issue come up so many times before and had to resort to formatting each time. This was a much better alternative and easy fix. Thank you for your help!
