Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by the SD Card Association (SDA) for use in portable devices. However, sometimes, we may find we cannot access data and files saved on the SD card. An example as follows,
“Well, I cannot access my micro SD card (16 GB). This card has been used for about 3 years in my Android phone, and it contains pictures, videos, music and so on. When I click the micro SD card on my Android phone, it says micro SD card is not formatted. If I click to format the card, it says the format did not complete successfully. “
