is there anyway to recovery the drive and should i use a similar drive or just buy one of the recommended? i've can't find anyone with a similar experience

oh i didn't know that. it still hangs though. when i right click it, the file explorer becomes unresponsive

No, windows 10 edu cant read from the drive at all. when I tried to open it with files explorer, it hangs and becomes unresponsive. Trying to close file explorer afterwards introduces graphical glitches like missing taskbar and blank wallpapers (although some programs are still run like chrome). To switch programs I just alt+tab. The alt+tab style changed to win xp style (idk if its relevant). A imager like raspberry pi imager is able to identify the drive though so I could just wipe it. I was booting from a USB3.0 port, I'll change to a USB2 port now thanks

I don't need to do any key transfer or transfer anything else? Is the flash drive becoming corrupt just a random chance when crashing? It has crashed before but never corrupted is the quality of the flash drive (16gb cruzer dial) related to the corruption or crashes in general? and is this type of behaviour with a corrupted drive normal? my pc glitches out and becomes unusable when trying to open it thanks,

Hey there was a power outage and my unraid was not on a ups so it crashed. upon trying to boot it back up, it hangs on bzroot…ok and doesn’t post. safe mode doesn't work either. I plugged the flash drive into my windows pc and it reads as a generic “usb drive”. windows file explorer can’t open this drive and hangs. it seems that anything that interacts with it hangs so I think the flash drive is corrupted and I’m looking for advice on how to proceed because i’m a noob. i’m thinking that i should reflash the flash drive then copy over a backup and replace the contents. would this suffice? is there someway to fix it or a better approach? thanks.
