umm, does anyone know how to fix a corrupted (or partially corrupted) flashdrive? Part of my webbuilding folder has these weird winding-like symbols and loads suuuper slowly--if it loads at all. This flashdrive is really important to me and I can't risk losing like, years of projects--Imma try to get a new flashdrive but I want to recover my stuff first T.T

If you have another (intact) copy, you can use the checksums of the two files to see if it really is corruption, or something else. As for data recovery, you can try and use DMDE. And for the future, I would strongly suggest having at least two copies of your important files, and to NOT use flash drives (which often use low quality NAND for storage) exclusivley

@webbersite I unfortunately do not have another copy, that flashdrive was my only one. I needed it for school and I've been using it ever since. I've tried chkdsk, but I couldn't get it to work. I tried repairing it and it really didn't do it

@webbersite Whoops I pressed enter kinda early, but I did try to find the cause. It's just my files load super slowly, but I managed to check my Website Decor folder and that's where I saw the weird symbols. I tried to delete it, but Windows gave me an error message. I'm not so torn about losing my Decor folder since I do have a copy of that. I just don't want to lose my other files in the process.

@webbersite Apologies if I'm gabbing on, I was planning to buy a new flashdrive. But then I saw your message so I'm holding off on the search for a new drive. What would you recommend? I'm unfamiliar with that sorta stuff

webbersite's avatar webbersite 1 week ago

My advice for right now would be to make a full copy of all the files on your flashdrive ASAP, and save that copy on another storage drive (such as your computer's hard disk, Google Drive, etc.)

Regarding a replacement, it depends on your budget: I'd recommend getting an external hard drive (I personally use a 1TB Western Digital SSD). If that's too expensive for you, get a decently sized flash drive from a name brand like SanDisk or Samsung.

Lastly, for preventing data loss, you'd ideally want at least two or three copies of every piece of data (yes, EVERYTHING) you can't stand to lose. There's a lot of software out there that can help with this too. lmk if you need more help with anything I've said so far lol

@webbersite I'm sorry for the late response! I'm going to shop for a flashdrive. I found some of my files have been corrupted unfortunately, but hopefully it won't extend to my art or comic folder. Is it safe to move my uncorrupted folders to another disk or is it better to just leave them there, just in case? I never had to deal with corrupted files before, I'm not sure what to do :<

Moving corrupted files/folders to another drive won't "spread the corruption" if that's what you're worried about. I'd suggest copying all your files from the old to the to the new flash drive, and leave the files as they are on the old flash drive. That way you'll have two copies; if the old drive fails, you'll have the new one, and vice versa.
