What is a data card?

Strangely, all the data I transferred into memory card seems to have disappeared when viewed in Explorer but still occupies space on the disk. What can I do to recover data from a faulty SD card?

  • I was transferring data of size approximately 10 GB into my newly bought 32 GB SD card. After finishing the transfer and deleting the data from original source, I cant see any file. All the folders are there but the files therein disappeared. The video files which were not categorized in any folder are displayed but cant be played. When I check the properties of the data card, it shows space used "!0 GB" and free space as "21 GB"  I dont have much info about these glitches but I think its because the micro SD was defective. Please help me out, Those files were of immense importance.

  • Answer:

    If you bought your SD Card from a non-authorized dealer, you maybe seriously screwed.. I seen quite a lot of fake cards which exhibit this kind of behavior... no data recovery is possible... Anyway, download this free data recovery software called Recuva and try your luck
