So I was using my mac with my external hard drive connected via USB.

I moved about 10gigs of data to it (via drag and drop while holding command to move the files rather than to copy them). They moved to the drive alright, but as I was having some issues and finder crashed after the transfer, I was unable to eject the volume and later everything froze so I had to do a hard restart (hold the power button).

When I remounted the volume (plugged the external hdd back in) it no longer had any of the files which I moved onto it.

How can I recover these files, as it was a lot of data! Cheers.
