I have a Micro SD Card that acts as a USB stick.
It seems to have become corrupted. If I place it in my computer and try to read from it, Windows says, "You need to format the disk in drive F: before you can use it." Shortly before this started happening, one of the folders had messed up contents inside of it (weird, mangled file names).
As far as I can tell from a recovery tool I tried using, the disk format type is FAT32.
I tried using EaseUS data recovery, which recovered some files, but the free version has a DAILY limit of how much data you can recover, and one of the files I tried testing was unusable by Open Office Writer.
Does anyone have any suggestions on 100% free tools that run on Windows Vista, will allow unlimited data recovery, and that are known to have a high success rate in recovering files? If anyone knows how to fix corrupted Open Office Writer files, that might be of help, too.
Thanks in advance.
