I was using "Shrink Volume" on my 'C' drive or so I thought. During all of
this I have deleted my external USB drive data and I have no idea what
happened. Can anyone recommend some 'data recovery' programs to sort out
this mess? I have not written to the drive at all. I used to have a program
for such as that (probably on my external drive) but I can't recall the name
of the software. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You might try PC Inspector.
It worked for me.

Thanks, Robert. I am using it right now. Can't believe it's free. Will
report back later if successful or not.

It seems to have recovered the files but they are all named 'cluster
xxxxxx.exe' or something similar. No folders or the previous names. I have
about 170 gigs of files. Am now trying the 'Recover My Files' program. After
13 hours I stopped it and am trying another method. Thanks again for the
replies.
