I was copying my pictures off an SD card to a friends computer to backup the files. His fan was broken, the computer overheated and shut down, and now I can't access the memory card in any computer.
When i plug it in my laptop, the computer doesn't recognize it. I've tried to use partition doctor and other mbr programs because I believe the error may be with a corrupt mbr, but since the computer doesn't acknowledge my card when plugged in, the programs don't offer me the option of even running them on the SD card.
