The good news is you can probably fix your card, please download this program and format the card:

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/index.html

The bad news is your files are probably long gone. Also if that formatter doesn't work the card is defective /dead.

You can TRY to recover your files with this:

or this
http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Honestly there is a pretty solid chance they have been overwritten by the format process but its worth a shot. Once you recover use the format utility I linked at the top.

Hey man,

So HP USB Disk Didn't Format, I've Tried Easeus Data Recovery But Like I Said, It Appears As 31MB So It Only Scans 31MB Which The Only Thing That Shows His Root With An X On It, SD Card Formatter Doesn't Work Because Of Write Protection Even Though It's Not On

What are you trying to format it in (a micro to SD adaptor?) Those do have write protect switches sometimes. Do you have a camera or some device you could try and format it in thats not a PC? Just worth a shot, however unlikely it is to work. Then try data recovery.

If it won't format with that tool its likely screwed for good I'm sorry to tell you.
