Hey, guys there! Do you guys know something about SD memory card RAW file system error problems? Recently, I just cannot access my 16GB SD memory card and inner stored photos since it keeps asking me to format no matter whether it try to use it on my digital camera or Samsung laptop. My friend just says it is detected as RAW file system on my PC and that’s why it needs formatting before any access. But, I really don’t know such memory card RAW file system error and don’t know whether the SD memory card RAW format error recovery software recommended by my friend really works for me, like http://www.icare-recovery.com/howto/sd-memory-card-raw-file-system.htmlor http://www.piriform.com/recuva or http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec. How do you think about it? Is any related memory card data recovery software really needed? Can I just format this memory card and do rescue everything inside latter? Thanks for any suggestion here!

If it’s a SanDisk SD card you have, it most likely came with RescuePRO recovery software.
