The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Chkdsk to the rescue!

Let's say you were trying to look into your SD card on your computer, then suddenly the drive's like,

Window that presents the following: Location is not available. E is not accessible. The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.

My friend just went through this issue. Basically I told him to run: chkdsk E: /f on Command Prompt ran as administrator.

...and poof! It works ✨
