How to Format Corrupted SD Card in Windows 10, 8, 7?

Geeks - Corrupted SD cards can be a frustrating problem, as they can prevent you from accessing the files on the card and can even cause problems with your device. If you have a corrupted SD card and you're running Windows 10, 8, or 7, there are a few steps you can take to try and fix the problem.

First, make sure the SD card is properly inserted into your device. Sometimes, a simple misalignment can cause the card to become corrupted.

If the SD card is properly inserted and you're still having problems, try connecting the card to a different device to see if the issue is with the card or the device.

If the SD card works on a different device, there may be a problem with your device's SD card reader. In this case, you may need to replace the reader or contact the device's manufacturer for further assistance.

If the SD card doesn't work on any device, it may be physically damaged and unable to be repaired. In this case, you may need to purchase a new SD card.

If the SD card is not physically damaged, you can try using Windows' built-in disk checking tools to see if they can repair any errors on the card. To do this, follow these steps:

Right-click on the SD card in Windows Explorer and select "Properties"

Click on the "Tools" tab

Click on the "Check" button under the "Error checking" section

Follow the prompts to check and repair any errors on the SD card

If the built-in disk checking tools are unable to repair the SD card, you can try using a third-party disk utility to try and fix the problem. There are many options available, but some popular ones include:

EaseUS Partition Master

MiniTool Partition Wizard

Hetman Partition Recovery

If none of these steps have been successful in fixing your corrupted SD card, it may be time to consider purchasing a new one. It's always a good idea to regularly back up the data on your SD card to prevent losing important files in case of a problem like this.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix a corrupted SD card in Windows 10, 8, or 7. If you continue to have problems, it's always a good idea to seek out additional assistance from a tech support professional or the manufacturer of your device.
