Flash Drive unknown device code 43

[Reddrommed]

Flash drive with a lot of important files I failed to back up (call me an idiot later) shows up as an unknown device in device manager and gives me a code 43. I've tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling, and it does not show up in disk manager. I don't have the brand of the drive because it was given to me by my college, and all it has on the outside is their name.
