I have a Kingston 8GB SDHC card. It goes undetected in phones or they say it is corrupted. My PC detects it but I cant access or format it. It shows the card there but when I try to format it, I get an "Insert a disk" error.

Ran chkdsk which says it is RAW, diskpart and Disk Management never load. I have tried a lot of softwares to recover my data but no luck.

Please, heellppp!!

There might, maybe, possibly, be a long shot at data recovery. If any computer fixit shop has anything similar to the StarTech 1:2 or 1:5 USB duplicator / formatter / reader / copier machine -- it just might be enough to coax, to copy, your flash drive's data over to another known-good flash drive or an attached USB external HD. I just got a 1:2 StarTech, however, I have not tried to do what I'm hoping a computer fixit place can hopefully do. If the flash drive is physically defective, recovery chances are probably slim to none. If logically faulty, there might a be larger than slim recovery chance.
