Help Was going to update....sd card

I was going to try and update with the LG tool. I read to remove your SD card. Which I promptly did without unmounting it. Of course now it says I have an empty SD Card, to reformat it. I don't want to reformat it because I will lose my stuff. Is there a way to get it to just work again.

First of all, try turning off your phone and pop in the card while the phone is off. The restart it and see if it fixes your problem.

If not, pop your card into your pc (you'll need an adapter if it doesn't have the sd card slots)
drag all your files onto a folder in your computer.
Formart your card, then put the files back.
 
I lost all my pictures and had to recover them with the photorecover application. I tried to format the SD using android's format option and nothing, I also used SDFormatter and nothing.
I was about to purchase a new SD Card, but I first wanted to fix a configuration in Roadsync because it was crashing my Xperia, making it unusable.
Roadsync was using the SD Card as the location for email storage, so I changed that location to the internal memory. After that I gave another try to the android's format option, and.. voila, it displayed a different message, it prepared the SD card!!

The SD Card is working perfectly now!!!

Sd cards are much like game boy advance games when you yank em during saving. It will fudge it up for a few hours to days. Make sure you unmount the card next time =p sum people take it for granted and just pull em and its fine 98 out of 100 times but then there is that 2% of evilness lurking waitning for its turn to strike
