Chkdsk ran automatically because the drive was trashed and it sought to
repair it; but it was unrepairable.
Chkdsk didn't trash the disk; it's simply reporting the trashing that
happened before you ran it.

You left out any details that might indicate how the trashing happened.

I was able to access data on that disk with no issues just before the
reboot. I had just deleted some files to make additional room so I could
finish copying the files over. That was the last operation performed on the
drive. What details are you looking for?
