Hi,

Reformatting an SD card will wipe all of its contents and erase everything. You can try to use a card reader and connect it to a computer. In that way there would be greater chances that you can still recover your files from the SD Card or repair the SD Card without losing the files. However, your files will be lost if the computer can't even recognize the files from the SD card and still prompting you to reformat. Hope that helps. Thanks
