A:
Got at least three options that may help you out in case your USB flash drive fails to read or if it becomes corrupted.
One reason why the USB drive becomes corrupted is because of a virus. In cases like this, try scanning the drive with an antivirus software. If the pen drive is not working due to virus, scanning the pen drive with an effective antivirus is a good option for USB flash drive recovery and can restore the USB.
Secondly, if you are using Windows operating system, try to hit the start menu then click on Run and type CMD to bring up a command prompt. Type in chkdsk x: /r where "x" is the designated drive of the removable storage device and "/r" commands to try to repair issues. If the USB drive can be read through that, then there is at least a little hope of recovery.
