Help SD Card Issues/Not Mounting or Recognizing

Try putting the card into an adapter and then into a card reader. You may be able to recover the photos using a recovery program. Do not try to do this via the phone and USB. I also recommend using Dropbox and backing up your photos to your pc frequently.
Good luck, I hope you are able to recover your photos.

Unfortunately, I won't have access to a Micro SD Card reader til later this week/weekend and from what I've seen I have to backup all my files (if it isn't completely fried and can be read through a sd card reader) and then format it to fat32. Although can anyone confirm if this would work?
It's probably already formatted to fat32 -- so that is not really going to fix anything.

Good Luck in recovering the files. I had two SD cards and both of them got corrupted, and I was able recover practically nothing of value.
