Help SD Card Problem - revisited!

[Blessing]

Yes, I have read through the forum for similar forums and I have followed their advice but I am still having no success.

My SD card unexpectedly became damaged, according to my phone, and I am unable to read any files/pictures that are stored in it. I am unable to access it via my USB drive but am able to open the files on my computer using the microSD adapter.

However when I try to copy the files on my SD card onto my computer, I get stuck - the files are so HUGE that they freeze the computer. Are these zip files? Am I supposed to do something to the them before I simply copy and paste?

I don't understand why I am having this problem and for everyone else, the transfer appears to occur seamlesly.

All I want to do is tranfer the files onlt my computer, reformat the old SD card or if I can't, get a new one and transfer the files back onto the SD card and move on.

Please help

Like Ocn said try to transfer 1x1 I know this is time consuming however its more guaranteed that you can get most of them back. You can use a program like teskdisk. However if you unsure of what your doing then the 1x1 suggestion is your best bet. The photorec program is also a good one for recovery. (from same developer) These are very powerful programs.

after recovery has finished exit the program but if possible leave the dos window open and type:
chkdsk x: /f /r
Replace x with the drive letter of your SDCARD
If windows reports bad spots no need to bother formating just replace card.
