Run checkdisk (chkdsk) on it.
Yup, what ^^ Farva said, at the command prompt you will probably do a "chkdsk D: /f" (without the " " of course), that should usually be enough switches to run. If it comes back and says it fixed any issues/errors you might run it a 2nd time until it no longer says it fixed any errors.
What kind of drive is this D:? You might need to do a /r on that chkdsk to do a bad sector check. Do you have SMART monitoring on in the BIOS? You might need to consider running any manufacturer diagnostics on the drive, although not all manufacturers have a diag tool anymore. (Seagate and WD do for sure)
D: was a flash drive when it happened. I have tried various combinations of the chkdsk command and tried them with the flash drive and nothing seems to work
So for people who have this same issue in the future and they can search for it, what did you type to fix your issue?
You may not have worked on enough windows systems backups never hurt however.I wouldn't be simply disabling this check and believing 'job done'.
This happens when Windows flags the drive/partition as 'dirty', there's always a reason why Windows flags a drive/partition as dirty. I'd be doing SMART tests and probably, at minimum, cloning the drive as a precaution.

I work on plenty of Windows systems. Drive flagged as dirty = Failing drive. Same with Linux.
You clearly have done any overclocking on systems. Backups never hurt. (Flagging a drive as dirty does not equate to a failing drive, most of the time. )
