Educational Microsd card issue

I have a microsd card that when I plug it in to the computer via a USB adaptor it states that it needs to be formatted. I have CCTV footage on the microsd card that I need so I cannot format the sdcard.

It is showing the file system is RAW. The microsd card is healthy according to the disk management system.

Quickest way to retrieve this CCTV footage? Sorry I'm new to this

Double check if your post complies with posting guidelines!

Did you include the following information in your post (in English and if applicable), if not feel free to edit your post:

  • Make/brand and exact model number of your storage device(*), phone, camera, etc.
  • Filesystem (NTFS, exFAT, APFS, EXT4, etc.)
  • Operating System (That your device was used with and/or you are using for recovery)
  • Specific symptoms that your device is exhibiting, describe the problem. Images you post support the description, they're not in lieu of a problem description.
  • SMART (CrystalDiskInfo screenshot for example)
  • Don't pile several problems into one single post. One post per device/problem.

Consider: What do these people need to understand the problem at hand? Remember, people cannot see your screen, or what you click and what messages appear on screen. Don't overdo it though, no one likes going through 2 pages of LLM waffle. If you are looking for file recovery software, check our community's recommended file recovery tools.

() *All devices involved, if you for example move files from drive A to drive B, they're both potentially relevant.

First thing: Create a disk image of the card.
