"There's a problem with this drive. Scan it now to fix it."

Hey guys. I finally got my hands on a Pre-Owned 2GB SD Card from GameStop and was excited to start playing Project M hackless on my Wii U. However, once I downloaded the mod from the mirror site and put it on the SD Card, it didn't launch PM from the stage builder with all the stages deleted. I then found out that you have to extract the file and then copy the contents of the folder into the SD card to make it work. When I attempted to try this and inserted my SD card back into my PC, a pop-up message informed me that there is a problem with the drive and to do a scan to fix it. I clicked complete scan but it said it couldn't fix it. So I tried to open my SD card again, and I saw that the zipped WinRAR file from my first attempt was still there, so I deleted it. I then took out and put back the SD card, and the same message popped up. I opened my SD card's file, and the zipped file was still there. No matter how much I delete it, the file won't go away once I reinsert the SD card. I also attempted to format the SD card, but it said it was "unable to complete the format" when I tried.
Sorry for the long/convoluted post, but I was really looking forward to playing Project M and now I don't know why it's acting up. Thanks!
Also, I used this guide.

Id suggest the following:

1:ensure the SD card isnt locked
2: try with a different pc/ sd reader
3: https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/sd-card-wont-format.html

4: don't buy 2nd hand SD cards... im not really sure why someone would sell one to be honest. (you can buy them new and cheap on ebay)
I tried every one of these, but none worked. I went over to my local GameStop and they luckily had one last 2 gig card. That one worked fine and I now have PM running on my Wii U. Thanks for your help!
