Got an error about Damaged Sd card in my Phone
I used chkdsk to fix it but got an error

C:\Users\subhn>chkdsk g: /f
The type of the file system is FAT32.
Volume Serial Number is EC22-1DA0
Windows is verifying files and folders...
The \torrent\Bu77y Sch07a4sh1p Ed1t10n.iso entry contains a nonvalid link.
The size of the \torrent\Bu77y Sch07a4sh1p Ed1t10n.iso entry is not valid.
25 percent completed......

And that's it.

The data on the card got corrupted. You probably won't be able to recover any of it. (That's why people are told to back up all important files.)

If the card won't format, it's going to depend on the card's manufacturer. If it's a SanDisk, go to SanDisk microSD Tech Support, upper right corner (Live Chat) and talk to them. The card has at least a 5 year warranty (some have lifetime warranties) so they'll probably replace it.

If it formats, just put it back into the phone, format it again (the phone formats it a little differently than Windows does), and you're set.

If it's some other manufacturer and it doesn't format, you'll have to contact them and hope that they replace defective cards.

If possible delete the .iso file.
Then whatever else.
Reformat to exFAT
(Avoid Torrents to avoid the trouble that comes with it.)
