Recently I was typing and the file "shut" down, the screen went gray and I
lost the entire file. I was editing an already started file on my flash disk
thus it was was not on the computer hard drive. When asked to recover it
receovered in Notepad, but only a small fraction of the actual content opened
up and the rest was question marks, numbers and other jibberish. Is there a
way to recover this file?

No. That's why whenever you do such editing, you should save it
frequently.
 
It's also a really good idea, to copy the file off the flash disk, edit it
on the computer, and then copy it back to the flash disk.

It only takes a second, and is far more bullet proof.
