So as I was moving some backed up games I have on my PC my SD card just up and stops working and demands I reformat it. I am being told that I am bricked because it has all of my stuff needed to boot? is this true?
Afraid to boot my Wii U and yesNo, you're not bricked. Is your Wii U not booting? Did you have CBHC installed?
CBHC is installed to the NAND, not the SD. It can boot just fine without your SD card.Afraid to boot my Wii U and yes
There's no stuff on the SD that's needed to boot, CBHC can work without a SD card at all AFAIK. But to boot HBL you need the .elf in the right location on SD.So as I was moving some backed up games I have on my PC my SD card just up and stops working and demands I reformat it.

Sorry I just am afraid to make any mistakes... I just booted it and it seems to be loading just fine... so what do I need to do to get the SD card back in order?CBHC is installed to the NAND, not the SD. It can boot just fine without your SD card.
Perhaps you should test it out before asking the question.
Trying to recover data on a corrupted SD card is not recommended in this situation, as the files on your SD card are meant to work together. In other words, recovering some but missing others will likely cause problems.There's no stuff on the SD that's needed to boot, CBHC can work without a SD card at all AFAIK.

You might be able to recover the data on it with a partition recovery tool such as Recuva (free) or GetDataBack (paid, but seems to work better for me), that way you won't lose your data, but don't format the drive or do anything else to it cause that will lower the chances of recovering your data.
According to some others on discord I just need to remake the SD card. I will deal with it tomorrow at this point. Thanks for the help.Trying to recover data on a corrupted SD card is not recommended in this situation, as the files on your SD card are meant to work together.

Yes, you just need to redownload the files you want on your SD card.According to some others on discord I just need to remake the SD card. I will deal with it tomorrow at this point. Thanks for the help.
