So suddenly my 32g Sandisk MicroSD card in my phone started prompting me to format cause it was unformatted. I took it out and put it into my computer. It is recognized by windows but that's about it. It refuses to format and when I try to format manually it tells me "Invalid media or Track 0 bad - disk unusable". It appears to be in RAW format. So I tried multiple software approaches to no avail. I am devastated. The first year or so of my son's life is on this card. :(

Recuva - "Unable to read boot sector"

ZAR - "Unable to continue: There seems to be no files on volume... Data is probably beyond repair, or something is misconfigured"

EaseUS - 'COMPLETE RECOVERY MODE' Doesn't even detect the card
'PARTITION RECOVERY MODE' No files found

iCare - Scans fine, nothing comes up

Remo Recover - No files found, No Partitions found

Wondershare Data Recovery - Shows up, File System type says "Unformatted". Scan results in no relevant data found.

I ran it and first thing I noticed is that the source drive is showing up as 32MB instead of 32GB. I ran it backwards and it succeeded and saved. But it only took 3 or 4 seconds. The resulting file is also about 32 mb
