How do i find whats on a SD card

silkyuk9

I have put a oldish sd card, 2 gig into my mobile phone, which is a Sony Experia Miro. There isnt 2 gig of space on the card. I can find in my phone setting to delite whats on it but I would rather see whats on it first before I delite the data. Its a old card that was in a previous mobile phone I had so im guessing its full of songs and pictures. possibly nude pics of the wife when we went on holiday to a nude beach several years ago. Back then she was in her prime so it would also be worth viewing the pics for old time sake.

Anyway, ive search my phone setting but for the hell cant find anything where i can view the sd card. Ive searched google but again nothing.

So any help here please.

Ive plugged the card into my phone, there must be a way of seeing whats on the memory card without buying extra bits of !!!!!

If the memory card is corrupted, then you will probably see it as 0 size and only option would be to format it.

You can do a quick format - and if iit formats ok then download freeundelete to see if you can recover some files on it.

You will probably need to get a USB cheap adapater to get freeundelete it to work - try it with phone connected - but more often than not, recovery software does not work with portable devices like mobiles.

Saying all that - memory cards get corrupted easily , even formatting will not result in a usable memory card - and the bin is next step.

Its not corrupt. It has things on it, I just want to view the data. I put the things on there, just not sure if there are songs or photos of my naked wife that is all.

Then surely you can connnect your phone to the PC via a USB cable (or whatever cable came with the mobile) - turn on USB data mode on the phone - so that you see it as a drive on the PC.

Then copy all the data on that drive to your hard drive and look at your naked wife with a dirty piccy viewer?

What extension are the files - a lot of the stuff on a memory card used on a mobile could be stuff that is used by the mobile phone OS - mostly of no use to you - but would contain any pictures you took with mobile camera.

Plug your phone via usb to your PC perhaps? Although I am not familiar with your phone (nor your naked wife :cool:)

Have you not got a file manager/explorer app on the phone?

If it's an android phone, then download something like ES File Explorer to view the contents of the SD card.
This may not work if the card has been formatted in a different type of phone, but it's worth a try.
Failing that, you'll have to resort to a card reader.

Find a computer with an SD slot.

You can find SD/USB adaptors in cheap shops, sometimes places like poundland. The camera isn't designed to understand anything but it's own files, you need to look on a PC.

I use a poundland card reader. Much easier than downloading and using the phones software. http://www.poundland.co.uk/signalex-multislot-card-reader-assorted
