Hey Guys,
I have a SanDisk Ultra 32GB Micro SD HC I, (red and grey).
I've been using this card for the past 3 months in my Samsung Galaxy SIII.
This morning when I switched my phone on it gave me an error that the card is either empty or has some unrecognisable files on it.
I inserted the card into a micro SD Adapter and into a SD card reader on my pc and the error that shows up is "The volume does not contain a recognised file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted."

Under Disk Management, the file system is RAW and its showing up as 31MB only.

I have tried a few recovery softwares like wondershare photo recovery, iCare data recovery, zero assumption recovery, easeUS Data recovery and Recuva.
The problem is in most cases it does not recognise the partition.

Please help! I have a lot of pictures and videos which I just clicked on a holiday.
I spoke to a "data recovery" co. and they said it is possible for them to recover the same but would cost me between 500RS to 5000RS. ~ is this true ? Will they tear open the card ??

1. I need to recover all the pictures + videos
2. The card is under warranty

Please help! :sign09:

thanks,
Ash
