Hi folks. Today, after my fifth flight, I removed my SD Card from my Mavic Air 2 (as I normally do), I plugged it into my Windows PC... and I've got this error message: "Warning: you need to format the disk in drive J: before you can use it".
I ran CHKDSK, and it said "Corruption was found while examining the boot region.". Full result at the end of the message.
I then tried CHKDSK /F (in Admin mode, of course), but it could not fix it: "An error occurred while examining the boot region."
The funny thing is that if I plug the SD in my Mavic Air 2, I can see pictures & videos, I can play them, I can download them on the connected iPhone... but the SD is not readable at all from my Windows PC.
Thankfully I've been able to recover all pictures & videos using a recovery software (Recuva): all files were there, in perfect shape. The tool was able to recover all of them in a snap.
But I am definitely concerned now. The SD is a brand new SandDisk Extreme 128Gb, v30 A2 Class 3. Now I will format it before each future flight, but I am afraid it could not be enough.
Any idea about a possible reason for this terrifying experience?
Bye!

P.S. below the result of CHKDSK:
C:\Users>chkdsk J:
The type of the file system is exFAT.
Windows found errors on the disk, but will not fix them
because disk checking was run without the /F (fix) parameter.

Windows is verifying files and folders...
File and folder verification is complete.
Windows has checked the file system and found problems.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.
