I have a 3TB Hard drive with 332 Gb data on it.

I tried to shrink the volume to 1TB with the 332 Gb and create a new blank 2TB disk. I used disk management.

It was taking a long time so I cancelled it by using the stop option on disk defragmenter (a separate program I know but apparently the two are linked).

The amount of data is now 231 Gb. I guess I lost 100Gb or so? Or is that not possible?

The data looks ok but there is no way of knowing if it actually is.

Argh.
 
All folders/files that I remember being on there are there. But most folders/files on there I could not remember if they are on there so I could not say if they were lost or not.

im not even sure of the data amount before and after.

I will just accept and move on. Some of it was backed up anyway.
