How to Fix Corrupted Flash Cards


1. Insert your flash card into your computer's USB drive.
2. Open 'My Computer' and locate the flash card under 'Removable Storage Devices.'
3. Right-click on the flash card to open up a list of options. Locate 'Format' from this list and double-click it to open the formatting tool.
4. Highlight the square next to 'Quick Format' and ensure that a checkmark appears inside the square.
5. Select a file structure by using the drop-down menu. If you are unsure of the best file structure to use, select 'NTFS' to ensure the greatest compatibility across operating systems and software.
6. Click on the 'Format' button at the bottom of the formatting window to initiate the formatting process. A notification window will appear when the drive has been formatted, and the drive should now work like new.
