Micro SD card needs to be formatted

[Skadorski]

Am I screwed?
I tried different card readers but they all say the same thing. Thankfully nothing too important is on there, but I had a lot of music on it that would be hard to recover.
It was absolutely fine and then it randomly stopped working for me.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I use 8g MicroSDHC card, not sure which brand but if it's important I'll find it out.

This tends to usually happen when you drop or overheat the SD card (some SD readers like to do this).
Not really much you can do except clean all contacts, re-inserting the sd card and hoping for the best. Else, just format it and hope it still is functional.
Next time, make a backup. :3

Throw it in an Android smart phone. Get a file explorer from the market place, make a zip of everything on the SD card, and email it to yourself from the phone. Remote backups.

If even the phone doesn't read it, just go ahead and wipe it; not much else you can do, unless it has some sort of special formatting (read: wbfs).

Ehh, I backed up the files in February so I just went ahead and formatted it. Thanks for the advice though!
