Finding the right person and the right tool

I finally sold my Galaxy Note 4. I was not sure how to do the factory reset but apparently it is quite easy. We can just go to settings and choose factory reset. And all data will be wiped out and the handphone is kind of new again.

The problem is the additional memory card. I have an extra 32 GB memory card. However, i did not know how to reset it properly. This is because when I tried to copy and move the data from the memory card to my laptop, there was lost of connection halfway. At home, it was even worse that the disk can no longer be accessed. It kept prompting for format disk. The good thing is that most of my data should be gone and I no longer need to erase it. But I am not sure how to make the memory card usable again. I kept formatting again but the quick format was not working. I ticked out the quick format, it run for a very long as if it is going to be completed. But at the end there was issue as well. So I gave up.

This morning I woke up and met my father in law. I told him his problem. And then he acted. Within two minutes he already finished re-formatting the memory card and now it is accessible again. The trick was that he used a special utility or application for re-formatting the memory card. So it reminds me, if there is a problem that we cannot solve, there are two three things to do. First, do not keep pushing doing the same thing because same approach will yield same result. Second, take a rest, let it go for a while. Third, rise up again and find the right person and or the right tool to help us solve the problem.
