It doesn't function like a regular hard drive. If you erase the card, the data is unrecoverable.

Corrupted cards however can be recovered if you have a way to dump the data to a PC.

Long story short my saves got deleted from my memory card(and my PS2 memory card too even), and I assume it functions the same as a regular hard drive that the save is still there, just the files waiting to be overwritten.

My question is, is it possible to restore the files from the Gamecube memory card? Even if there's only a slim chance I'd love to know how to do it, how to access the card, etc. 

Thanks in advance.
