Presumably you stuffed it when you were trying to
safely remove it when it took a while to scan the drive.

Did you ever get off your arse and make a repair drive
for that Win10 system ?  That should be able to fix it now.

Nope, that’s fine. It was you trying to safely remove it before
it had finished scanning the drive that was the problem.

That doesn’t involve reading the drive, you have to take ownership to get 
that.
