Transcend 8GB SD Card Is Not Detected in PC - 5 Fixes
"I have an 8GB Transcend SD card that cannot be detected by Windows when I connected it to my computer just now. I can find nothing in My Computer after connecting the SD card, but I found that the SD card shows as an unknown device under Disk Management. However, I cannot access the SD card.

I have tried to reinsert the SD card for several times, but the problem still exists. Please tell me how to restore files from the Transcend 8GB corrupted SD card."
