The photos and videos that have touched your heart, and the ones you have cherished for a long time, might be lost due to corruption of the storage media. Digital Photos and other media files are usually stored in devices such as SD, XD and MMC cards which are widely used in devices like professional digital cameras, mobiles, etc, and also in large capacity storage devices like Hard Disk Drives and Fire Wire drives.
