Not certain if this is in the right section, if not, I apologize. Anyone have a clue what might have happened to my USB drive? I had sorted some 500 photographs I took in a wedding party on the drive. Some of them I had edited with Photoshop. I was about to give the drive on to the married...

I went into disk management and only 58gb is...
