Wokiller For those familiar with basic command line functionalities, you can attempt to recover files using the Command Prompt. Insert the SD card, open Command Prompt, and use the 'chkdsk' command.
It is a system utility in Windows that scans and repairs file system errors and bad sectors on a disk. chkdsk can be working as an effective SD card data recovery software for maintaining the health and integrity of your hard drives, external drives, and other storage devices.
