I was deleting some music on my phone so I could put new music on. After that, when I tried to open my videos or photos, it said they were not found. I tried mounting the MicroSD card in my phone options, but it wouldn't work. It just says the program isn't responding. Nothing will recognize the card now. I don't want to lose all my photos but I don't know how to recover them. Is there a way to do this?

you could try it on MAC?, Linux? or on another windows for repair, but if the phone cant mount it then the problem is serious, good luck in recovering files with above mentionned soft.there is a very tiny "switch" on the left of the adapter, next to the "S" on sandisc as example, that must be flipped down in order to "work

Hello, if your phone doesn't recognize the card, you could probably see if the card can be seen in a computer with a card reader.  If the contents on the card can be accessed by a computer, you could probably try to recover the content.  If you try this, make sure to do a backup of your card before trying anything else.  Also, make sure not to write anything on the card.....if you do, it might overwrite deleted content.  You could try software such as the following in your computer:recuva:http://www.piriform.com/recuvarestoration:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.htmltestdisk & photorechttp://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk:_undelete_file_for_FAThttp://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
