If your Chromebook and PC are on the same network (i.e. router) just copy the files over the network to the PC.

Between the flackiness of these proprietry external drive and Windows Explorer. . .

After the files are secure I would try formatting the USB drive in the PC and see if the Chromebook reads the drive properly.
