How to restore dead SD card used to boot a HDD? #195

Pro count uh I need help. So basically last night I shutdown my raspberry pi 3B+, turned it on this morning and nothing happens. I plugged the SD card into a reader on my Mac and the card could not be initialised. I am thinking the card is dead. Basically I had the boot on the SD card, and installed the OS on a HDD. The HDD still works. How can I get the Raspberry pi working again?

Thanks DarkPlatinim

Yes they worked ok before that. I've looked around and I have no idea where it is. Also chromium and wastebasket don't want to work. Chromium says it's locked the profile to prevent corruption, if your sure, click this button to reopen it. Clicked the button, nothing happens. Wastebasket not letting me put items in it.

I decided to cut my losses on raspbian 1. I transferred my pictures, programs, etc over. What i did find interesting is that the new desktop wallpapers look amazing :)
