SD Card Errors after Formatting/Use in Spark?

[Barbara]

Thanks, Barbara. I've had the issue even after short test flights where I started and stopped recording before powering down the Spark. Having it happen when powering down without stopping recording is certainly understandable, but I'm quite sure it's happening even when I'm doing everything right ...

Oh well, was just a thought. Hopefully you get it sorted soon.

Use this utility and it will fix it if it is fixable.
Professional photographers swear by it and, it solved my issues on other camera uses:

I have a brand-new 64GB Sandisk SD card for my Spark and it was formatted in the Spark itself. If I record video to it using the Spark and then insert it into my laptop to review/copy it, Windows 10 reports that there's something wrong with the drive and it needs to be scanned/fixed.

I've done that, but the next time I save video to it the same thing happens again. I've run CHKDSK against it and it reports no errors, so I'm not sure what's going on here. The video I've recorded is playable whether I go through the Windows 10 fix process or not.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Here's the detail from the scan of the card:

Well, speaking of manners ... you made an incorrect assumption, then called me out and effectively accused me of going cheap on my SD cards when it was pretty obvious that I did not. Was my response really that unreasonable?

Regardless, now that we've both gotten that out of our systems, can we just virtually shake hands and put this behind us?
