Are you a Samsung Galaxy user? You may have used the micro SD card if you are one of them. What would you do if the TF card turn to raw when try to access files saved on it, especially those files are so important and can not be lost? It is not possible to format the raw micro SD card on that condition. The only way is to get the needed information back. It is flexible, in fact. We can ask the data recovery software for help to restore what we need from the TF card which is not formatted.
I inserted a micro SD card to my Samsung Galaxy to extend its internal memory, and then I could save more files on my phone, which brings much fun to my life. But things terrible happened. The TF card showed raw error the other day and I do not know what to do when the system ask me format the memory card or not. I want to use the micro SD card and I also want to access files saved on it originally. Is there any way for me to fix the TF card raw problem without losing data? -Re from Washington

Do you have any idea how to use the micro SD card correctly in order to avoid losing files from it? When we plug the micro SD card into the supported digital devices, such as Samsung Galaxy, we should be careful to view or store those files or use the phone. Though those lost contents which belong to the logical corruption could be retrieved by data recovery tool, there still are something need to be kept in mind. Here are some of them below:
1. Download and install anti-virus apps on the micro SD card. It is useful and necessary to launch the anti-virus software on the TF card to protect both the phone and the micro SD card itself from being infected by virus and worms. The consequence of virus infection is serious. Files saved on the micro SD card may become messy codes, some or all documents may be lost, and the TF card may become raw and other terrible results.
2. Do not let the micro SD card connect to the unsafe computer or digital devices. It is better to avoid the micro SD card connecting to so many different computers, other digital devices, also including card readers. Actions above may cause data loss problem, too.
3. Remove the micro SD card from computer or phones safely. The abrupt removal is not allowed either on the computer or the phone. Data saved on it may be lost partly or totally due to the abrupt removal. The safe unplugging would be indicated in the instruction book. Read it carefully.
4. Other actions that may lead to the logical corruption or physical corruption should be forbidden.
Raw micro SD card means that the file system of the micro SD card is raw. The other name of micro SD card is TF card. Generally speaking, the raw file system is a system error and need to be fixed. It may because the virus infection, bad sectors and other reasons. We can format it and then convert it to NTFS or FAT32, or other common normal file systems. But we should retrieve needed files from the raw micro SD card and then format it if those files are precious.
