The warp say's damaged SD card every time I turn it on?I tried taking it out and plugging it back in.It does the same thing.Im pissed because I have business pictures on there.Is there anything I can do??It is a 32GB sandisk.It was working fine than bang,it said it's damaged WTF!!!!!!
 
It's not uncommon for microSD cards to go bad. It's always good to keep a backup. If you can use a sd card adapter and see if you can get your pc to read it and copy everything off. Both my laptops came with a SD card reader standard.
 
So, it's toast in my phone???But sometimes works in a regular computer??It's freaking weird and stupid!!My desktop don't have a SD slot, so it really sucks.Worst case,I'll copy pics on a pc, and get a new SD card.I just wanted to rule out my phone???Seeing the SD card seemed fine on computers???
 
When formatting, I suggest as I do to everyone, first test the card via h2test, then format w/ sdformatter (NOT built in windows format)
Here is a zip file containing both apps: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/65761686/sdtestandformat.zip

The Testing app, I discovered when i had purchased a 32 gig card on ebay, and kept getting errors, upon running the test i discovered it was a fake. Regardless you may have cluster errors it will detect, and sdformatter will format it properly.

This worked for me great. SD FORMATTER WAS THE KEY.
