How do I go about getting that off my SD card? I assume it wouldn't be as easy as just deleting that file... cause that would make NO sense what so ever. I have had a 6700, 6800, and some really old PDA that used a card, and I have never heard of this before.

Now what do I do?

(In my fit of rage, and general madness, I really do appreciate that explanation. It was excellent and was very clear and extensive. Thank you)
Go here and download this program : http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/smar...htm?language=1


Install it on your PC and stick the SD card into your computer with a microsd adapter. If you dont have one, you CAN mount the card using the phone...but it takes ALOT longer to do it this way. The process takes a long time as it is....

Anyway..install it, open it..and select it to scan your card.....again..it WILL take an hour or more to scan it. When its done...it will come up with chunks of data. Most of your folders should show up...so you may see a folder called Music, but if you go in it..it will say unknown data or something like that. Its fine..just recover those files (it might just let you copy them out..im not sure how...I cant remember) and you will get your data back. The program will let you click on the files to see what they are if I remember correctly.

I am sorry I cant be more descriptive because its been a while since I had to use it...but it works great.....I think it might prompt you to pay but dont worry...the free version works just fine. You should be able to get the hang of it pretty quickly...most of it is pretty self explanatory.

Once all your data is off and recovered to your PC hard drive.....format the card and recopy all data back to it. Keep a backup on your PC of your SD card....I started doing that after this happened to me LOL....much easier than recovering it!

Good luck...lemme know if you have any questions.
