A Kingston 16GB Class 4 MicroSD card is reported to be corrupt, with issues persisting even when inserted into a new phone. Attempts to access the card on a Windows 10 laptop result in a never-ending scan without completion, preventing any data recovery. Suggestions for recovery include using disk cloning software like Ghost or dd in Linux to create a bit-for-bit copy of the card, as this avoids writing to the original and minimizes further data loss. It is also recommended to use command-line tools to attempt directory listings without navigating directly to the device, which could exacerbate issues. The possibility of the card being counterfeit is raised, with tools like CrystalDiskInfo suggested for verification. Dedicated recovery software is advised for deeper scans, as it can reconstruct file indices and recover data even if the directory structure is damaged. Overall, the focus is on cautious handling of the card and utilizing specialized software or hardware for recovery efforts.
