chkdsk says it has insufficient disk space to restore files

i'm trying to get some files from an 8 gb flash drive that seems to be actively dying, it's probably unnecessary because the files are probably backed up and i can get them tomorrow but now i just wanna know if this is possible/how to do it

i ran chkdsk and it asked if i wanted to convert lost chains to files. i said yes and it said there wasn't enough free space on the drive to do that. is there a way to have it restore the files to another drive? i didn't see an option to do that but it seems silly for that not to be an option? like it's only 6 gb, i have space on my hard drive. just put the files there.
