SD Card Needs to Be Formatted
"I
think I run into a terrible problem on my SanDisk SD card. I took a picture with
my Nikon camera with the SD card in, but I see a message on my camera to say my
SD card is an invalid media. By inserting the SD card to my laptop, I receive
another message to say my SD card needs to be formatted before I can use it.
But I have stored thousands of pictures and videos on this card without backup,
so I cannot format it directly. The file system of the card is RAW now, which
was FAT32 before. How can I fix the SD card error without formatting the card? "
