I've determined that the files on my flash drive cannot be recovered, which is highly unfortunate because the key to my password vault was on it and my backup is also lost (working on recovering that now). Somehow my flash drive, which was NTFS, is now RAW according to Windows. The drive is brand new and I don't see how this could have happened. I don't even access the drive manually. I just plug it in and let my vault access the key file. How could my drive have reformatted itself to a RAW state?
