Long story short, I bought a new SD Card for my camera and upon inserting it in today, I got an error message saying the card was unreadable and/or damaged or something to that effect.
So I popped it into my computer and it looks like my camera tried to work with it, judging by the DCIM Folder that existed in the card, and my computer recognized it. So I tried to format it, and the card disappeared from my file directory, and now it's on Dala's computer and it can't recognize it at all. Is there any way to fix this?
Just an advice in the future. When the card (or any other external device) is connected to a Linux system, it can be in two states. Mounted and unmounted. If it is connected and not mounted, it will not show up in your file manager. This usually happens when a device has a formatting Linux does not recognize (such as some Mac-specific or windows formattings). You can check, however, if something is connected by using the command lsblk or by using the disks utility if it is under Ubuntu
Funnily enough I think I know how to fix this in windows 10 in command line but my only laptop that has both windows 10 and the required card reader hasn’t been wanting to boot into win 10. (And I haven’t felt like reinstalling. Maybe this weekend?) It’s been ages since I have played with a partition manager in Linux. Thanks for the tips, you kept me from having to play with the google!
