Root Esteem not reading SD card?

[AndShoob]

I dont know whats going, now my phone won't read/can't mount my sd card any more. Im thinking I should just format it, but I really don't want to.

I think, before I re-formatted I'd like to a) make sure the card is the problem and b) try to save any data on the card.

If you have access to a PC with a card reader (or you have a USB adaptor), see if the PC can read the card contents. If it can, copy all the data to the PC.

Alternatively, see if a friends phone can read the card. If the card is readable, see if you can persuade the friend to let you back up any key files on his phone.

Either way, if the card is readable, the problem may be with the phone. You'll need to try a different card (that you know works) in the phone to check this.

If the phone is OK and you've backed up anything critical from the card, then I'd think about formatting it.

Mine started acting up where even the PC wouldn't read it.. What i ended up doing was formatting it and then doing a data recovery on it.. Ended up saving most my pics and irreplaceable things.. Don't remember the exact one as it's been awhile and that PC is gone and forgotten also but it worked.. Think it was the fourth or fifth one i tried..

Wired part about it is i'm using it on a diff test esteem and it works fine, throw it in this one and it eats it.. Got tired of messing with it
