Hacking SD Card... dead? >=|

[D3FAULT]

Well, I booted up my DS (with an R4) and got stuck on the "Loading..." screen. It has happened before, but normally I can just reinsert the SD card and it all goes well. But this time it did it 3 times, so I decided to stick it in my computer to see what was up, and it didn't even notice I put it in. So is it broken for good? Any way I can recover the data? I can buy another SD card, but I have so many goddamn saves and other shit on that card that I need. It really pisses me off.

BTW, "Secure" Digital my ass. This is the 2nd card I've had do this, but the other one didn't have near as important data on it. I do not feel my data is secure on these cards anymore. :|

The card reader probably sucks.

The readers which come bundled with flash carts are especially notorious.
They're known to corrupt cards.

The reader is the SanDisk one that came with it. My laptop has an actual SD card slot on it, so I don't have to use 3rd party adapters and stuff, which is nice. So is there no way to get my data back? I do have a backup, thank God, but it's not that recent.

Just reformat via digital camera if you have one. Worked perfectly for me. Good luck!

or blow the slot 1 on the ds

I've had quite a few problems with SanDisk products while I've haven't had any problems with any of my Kingston products so far.

If it were up to me I'd get a Kingston instead.

try formatting the memory card in a phone or camera , sometimes when a pc wont recognize a memory card a phone or camera will .

This happened to me today after trying the GBALoader thing for the EZ 3 in 1. The screen froze and it's now "dead". Ordered replacements but to those that are saying the Kingston ones are better, I had one for six months and it lasted 'til now.

Sooner than you think... I would stay away from those readers immediately if I were you.

try clean the metal of the R4 card or memory card a bit see if it work, or format the card and try again (back up files first tho)

Yes, my microSD card also got corrupted a while back. I just reformatted it, and now it works fine.
