GPe: lost most of my files on my sdcard

[arthaz28]

I just got a brand new Ultra z gpe and immediately i inserted my microsd from my sgs3. Immediately i noticed that i was not able to access my music and movies from my sd card.

Originally i thought it was just kitkat and its sdcard issues. But then i unplugged my sdcard and put it in my pc and i saw a bunch of folders where my files used to be marked numbers for example what used to be download becomes download.1 and songs.5 etc. And these folders are empty folders.

Please help

What format was the card?

a handy little recovery program is photorec. it wont recover the file names but will recover the files and metadata. Don't run it to save the files back to the card, but to a file on the PC

sd card corruption

same thing happened to me with a sandisk 64gb ultra card. before this, worked great without trouble in my NOTE ii

So is there a fix for this?

What is the proper way of using a micro sd card in the z ultra?

formating the card within the phone, then transferring via computer?

any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks.

Do not do such risky operations on the phone like formatting or partition setup. Do them on a pc with Gparted or something similar on windows. Easus works good for me when Im on windows 7.

Also mount the sdcard in a sdcard reader in to the computer. And yes. After partitioning is finished, mount the partition while the sdcard is still in its reader and transfer the data to the sdcard before putting it back in to the phone. It eliminates the risks of errors that could possibly be traced to the phone or something.
