The strange thing is that Wondows doesn't find any problem with my Clara after the scan. That is, nothing to repair, which I find strange. And it at least always get connected and appears in the Explorer tree menu and in Calibre.
On my old dead Glo HD it sometimes didn't even get connected and didn't appear in the Explorer tree menu or Calibre. Had do unplug/plug it several times to get it working. That's why I thought it was something wrong with the usb connector on the reader, getting old etc

Basically, the dirty bit means that changes have been made but not yet committed to disk. When a device is safely ejected, this bit should be cleared.

A volume's dirty bit indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because:
- The volume is online and it has outstanding changes.
- Changes were made to the volume and the computer was shut down before the changes were committed to the disk.
- Corruption was detected on the volume.
