I suppose you've looked at the external hard drive after installation from 
Ubuntu? Have you tried looking at it from Windows (if available)?
Have you tried using the Live CD again to see if you can access the files from 
there - instead of using the installed system?

Whatever you do, you should avoid/prevent any write accesses to the
device, so that the files may get undeleted again (unless they do not
get overwritten).

You can try "du -sch /mnt/usbhdd/*" from a terminal to see which folders
occupy how much space (where /mnt/usbhdd is the mount point of the
device). Maybe it's just in another subfolder?

(I've queried you on IRC - you may want to reply there)
