Freakin murphy's law!!!

Short story: I ejected a micro sd card out of my phone when it was 20% into the formatting process (hope it's not a low level)


Long story: I purchased a 2tb mini portable Seagate ssd like a usb stick to backup by phone as it's wise to have a backup and I pulled my phone out of my pocket to plug it in and noticed it was 20% into formatting my 1tb sd card in my phone....I was freaking out couldn't find the power button as I was shaking but managed to rip the hard case off it while running around trying to find a pin to eject the card.

****Don't know how it started formatting maybe like a pocket dial****

Question: What's the best way to try and recover these files?
I heard you don't try and recover them but first you use special software to copy the card (maybe bit by bit) and do a recovery on they copy?
So many different stories.... don't do this - don't do that - don't use this software - don't use that software......

Any advice would be so greatly appreciated!!!
 
Use something like Active@ Partition Recovery. Use the trial to see if you can even view anything and if so purchase a license.

Thankyou heaps!!! I'll take a look at that one.

Do you think it's wise to try a couple of different software?
I want to limit the amount of time I have the card plugged in and limit the number of scans too as I don't want the stuff written over.

It would be good for it to at least have the files in order and better if I can retrieve the original file name as there's like 60,000 files and photos on there :O otherwise it's hours and hours OR more like days and days of sifting through photos and grouping them!!

Thanks again :)

You definitely can.
You don't need to worry about the amount of time you have it plugged in. The software only reads the disk. The only time it would write to the drive is if you choose to restore to that disk.

This is specifically partition recovery software. If everything is intact it will restore the partition (to a separate disk) like nothing happened.
