How to recover media card before format

**Stevo_323** · 07-25-2012, 10:44 PM

Hey guys

I got a replacement phone and now its asking to format my media card. I dont want to lose everything on the card, but my computer doesnt have a slot for the micro SD card. How can I recover all of the stuff from the card before I format it for the new phone. I just want to be able to save them on a computer or something so I can transfer them back after I format it.

Thanks

I got a an adaptor for my microSD card to fit into the SD slot of my computer but even on my computer it tells me I need to format it.

Is there any way around this or am I screwed. I noticed the "repair" option in my blackberry. What about that?

You can certainly try the repair feature, but unfortunately it sounds like something has gone seriously wrong with your card. If you do get it working, back it up immediately, and I'd strongly advise frequent backups from now on.

There are recovery programs, but once you format, it's not likely you'll rescue anything.
